Sierra-at-Tahoe: About 16 miles from the Nevada border sits the family-friendly ski resort of Sierra-at-Tahoe. Unlike most of the Tahoe resorts, it is located on the south side of the lake, in the Eldorado National Forest. Known for an epic amount of annual snowfall, Sierra is a great place for beginners, too. Sierra offers 14 chairlifts, and its five terrain parks keep park enthusiasts happy. Near the top of the mountain, gates provide access into Huckleberry Canyon. Get your steep and deep discount lift tickets to Sierra-at-Tahoe at GetSkiTickets.com!
