best ski in ski out in tahoe

Anyone have a good suggestion for a great ski in ski out accommodation in Tahoe for 4-5 nights during Christmas/New Years break? Open to condo, cabin, or ';village'; rooms. Have 3 teenage kids-all good skiers/snowboarders. Heard Northstar has some good options. We usually do Bear Valley, but looking for something new.

Was almost going to go for Squaw Village till I read the horrible reviews. Would love any help...

Squaw Valley is a good place for skiing/boarding so I don%26#39;t know who would give it a bad review.

Northstar is good. You can rent a condo or home and they have shuttles to the resort itself. It%26#39;s not completely built out so it may be slow after the day boarders leave.

South lake Tahoe of course is the busiest with the most to do. Christmas/New Years is pretty busy so you should make arrangements soon. Ski in and out is probabaly still available at the Marriott Timber Lodge right next to the gondola in the village area. The Marriott Grand seems fully booked for that period.

The Marriott Timber Lodge is very nice, we stayed there for 3 nights this past May and enjoyed our stay. The have nice villas available here. Have fun! :)

If you don%26#39;t mind being away from all the activity of Tahoe proper, Kirkwood has some incredible ski-in / ski-out accommodations. Not to mention terrain that will keep your kids very happy.

Okay , Kirkwood is not Tahoe.

suzie-travels described the 3 ski in - ski out. But remember Squaw and Northstar are not on the lake. They both have ice skating, shops, pools and lots for teens.

Also consider the Hyatt Lake Tahoe. It is in Incline but you are 5 mins from slopes and the shuttle runs continuously. It is far nicer accomodation and there are restaurants within walking distance (Austins, Bisto Francaise, Black Bear Deli (Sri Lanken), La Fondue etc) Not a lot of shopping, but Incline Village does have shops. The Hyat also has nightly music, a family scene, and is RIGHT ON THE LAKE.

The reviews on Squaw - a lot of people like squaw. I found the rooms small and kind of tired, plus the noise from people in the village we found irritating. This would be similar at Northstar if you are in the village and definately in South lake tahoe. A lot of people close together.

Another option for accomodations if you don%26#39;t want to spend too much but be near the Heavenly Gondola is a Travelodge that was remodeled a few years back - to fit in with the ski chalet theme, that is across the street from Heavenly Village.

My husband and I have stayed there quite a bit and have had no complaints. Decent place to lay your head, since we spent most of the time on the slopes or in the casinos. And it%26#39;s right across the street from Heavenly Village and the Raley%26#39;s supermarket. Walking distance to the casinos.

If you%26#39;re there for a number of days, I suggest checking out Kirkwood. I like it better than Heavenly but its about an hour south of S. Lake Tahoe.

Marriott Timber Lodge is nice (we stayed on a timeshare invite) but on a normal basis, I%26#39;d stay at the Travelodge and spend my $ at the casinos.

Just my 2 cents.

But book early - New Year%26#39;s will be very tight for accomodations!

Both Squaw Valley and Northstar have a wide variety of ski in/ski out condos. Some are old, tired, and small. Many are quite new, large, and beautifully decorated. Your kids would no doubt enjoy either place- both have shops, restaurants and ice skating on site.

I%26#39;m surprised that Squaw has horrible reviews. I know many people who own condos or second homes there. They love it! My children loved Squaw when they were teenagers and there%26#39;s much more to do now.

I think that Heavenly, Squaw, or Northstar would be good choices. The teenagers in our family get bored at the Hyatt during the winter. It%26#39;s a great hotel, but it%26#39;s not ski in/ski out. The teenagers didn%26#39;t think there was much to do on site. They may just have been comparing it unfavorably with their summer visit, who knows?
