This is my go-to resort as someone who primarily does day trips from San Jose on weekdays either during light snow or the morning after a storm (not sure how weekends are). There's always parking near the lifts, and the lifts themselves usually have no wait time. Favorite areas: cool creek-pipe section under Solitude, and the Bowl area top left is a lot of fun especially on powder days. Staff is welcoming.

No Sacramento traffic, watch out cuz hwy 88 is frequently closed so check CalTrans and watch storm patterns before commuting from the west!
