Kirkwood

Positioned in a high alpine valley at 7,800 feet, Kirkwood Mountain Resort stands apart for its distinct terrain and legendary powder conditions. Known for receiving the deepest snowfall in the Tahoe region, Kirkwood's 2,300 acres offer a raw, authentic mountain experience that has drawn passionate skiers since 1972. The resort's dramatic ridgelines and natural terrain features create a unique atmosphere where challenging skiing meets unspoiled Sierra beauty.

Fifteen lifts navigate Kirkwood's varied territory, accessing 90 trails across 2,000 vertical feet of terrain. The lift network connects distinct mountain zones, each with its own character - from the steep chutes of The Cirque to the rolling glades of Timber Creek. Express chairs serve both the main mountain and outlying areas, while fixed-grip lifts access some of Kirkwood's most cherished advanced terrain, maintaining the resort's authentic alpine character.
