Tahoe Donner Downhill

The Tahoe Donner ski area is the perfect setting for families, groups, first-time skiers and older skiers who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of large crowds or to brush up on their ski skills. With a quad chair, a double chair and one surface rope tow, the area has a capacity of delivering 2,500 skiers per hour to reach the beautiful open-bowl slopes Tahoe Donner is known for.

The terrain park is perfect for snowboarders or skiers who like to ride more diverse and challenging terrain. Cross-country skiers can explore 39 scenic trails covering 100 km of beginning, intermediate and advanced terrain. The one-way trail system is carefully marked, signed and machine groomed with two sets of side-by-side diagonal tracks and a wide skating lane. Warming huts along the way provide skiers with a place to relax, take a break and enjoy the high mountain scenery.
