It s pretty great, I only wish there were more middle class options for staying in the village limiting choice to the super wealthy and upper middle class families makes resorts miss out on a fun atmosphere. I d love it if they had a microhotel like they do in whistler. A good tip is to take the TART bus from truckee if you re lucky enough to stay at the hostel there as the parking lot is the least fun part of any ski resort anywhere! There is a big snowboarding culture because of the park thankfully and if it were only skiiers this would be just another boring place with nothing fun or creative or inspiring to look at when you re riding. While food is high I don t feel it s a Vail thing pretty much every place in Tahoe seems to sell lots of gross greasy meat burgers or burrito with cheap cheese and mystery flesh or deep fried stuff for $21 and is out to rip off the tourists. It d be cool if they had affordable ramen with great broth or banh mi or roti and tastier veggie options but bad american food is part of the ski experience in america. It s a nice place to get into tree skiing and man this place would be nothing without the snowboarders who add a soul and life that makes all the hassles worth it !
