    Pretty sweet first visit to sky Tavern, during the summertime. Trails are pretty well taken care…read moreof, but damn is the soil loose here. Gotta be careful toward the top because some of it is soo loose and so deep that you get stuck like you're on the beach. Overall, still was pretty freaking sweet, especially for being free... can't beat that. Wife and I went on E bikes so the climb was really no problem, we ended up going up four times, and even took the trail all the way to Tamarack lake, which was super fun. There's lots of different options for terrain and size, some of which is a little nutty... I just wish when we went the lodge was open! Maybe it has special hours or it's only open certain days, not sure I would love to find out. If I find out, I'll update my review!

    Quality/Quantity - Small family friendly mountain. With two…read morechair lifts and a "magic carpet." Winter - To use the mountain you have to be a member and volunteer (2 hours a day). See website. Atmosphere - Winter - Open weekends only, weather permitting. Kid friendly. Sky Tavern can also be rented year round. Safety, kid safety - Cut and pasted from their website, "EVERYONE HAS A BADGE AT SKY TAVERN. Wear your badge when at Sky Tavern, please! It is how we know who belongs. If you bring a visitor, please go to the front desk and get a visitor pass. If you forget your badge, go to the front desk and get a temporary one. Everyone on the hill MUST be registered. If you see someone that you don't think belongs, ask them or ask a ? person to ask them. It is all about kid safety." Service - Amazing affordable programs: Learn to ski and snowboard. Adaptive program - Copy and pasted from their website "Enabling all participants -- regardless of disability-- to get outside and enjoy the snow is our #1 goal." Freestyle ski and snowboard program. Ski race programs. Etc, see website. Summer Bike programs, see website. Price - See website. Affordable. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1937 and opening Sky Tavern in 1944. 1953 - Sky Tavern becomes part of the City of Reno Recreation and Parks Department. 1968 - City of Reno buys Sky Tavern. 1993 - Non profit status, IRS 501(c)(3). 1994 - Sky Ridge chair lift. 2001 - America chair lift.

    Note to self - NO more pictures, hitting the Yelp limit. LOL…read more Quality/Quantity - Still my favorite local ski resort. And this year, snow tubing, too bad I was not able to coordinate with my nephew and niece this year... Local community, very few people on the mountain on weekdays. Plenty of parking which are very close to the lifts (weekdays). And even weekends are not too bad, especially compared to my Epic pass - Northstar, Heavenly, and Kirkwood. Good job grooming. Good terrain variety. Ambiance - Higher elevation = More and better snow. Base elevation = 8260'. 1200 acres, 1800 vertical feet. 20% Beginner Green 30% Intermediate Blue 40% Advanced Black 10% Expert Double Black Longest Run: 2.5 miles Total Trails: 60+ Timbers Bar - Spending more and more time here, lol. See pictures. 431 Sports gift & apparel shop. Service - Self service. Most people are friendly and manage the chairs. Many types of lessons/clinics; see their website or my pictures. Price - Season pass renewal = $425. Current season pass promotion = Double down; see their website. Normal Season Pass costs approximately $895 each. Off Peak = $675. Discounts with season pass for food, bar, gift shop, repair shop, etc. They also have many promotions. Ticket + rental package discounts. Half day tickets for both the morning or afternoon. 4 daily specials; see their website for specifics. Buddy tickets = $40 off for adults, $20 off for children. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since the 1930s.

The instructors are pretty nice and both of my kids learned how to make turns and comfortable stop. The group lessons were for 3 hours though... so they were so tired and hungry afterwards! The restaurants nearby are a bit pricey but decent especially after a long day of skiing.

    Tube Tahoe was an absolute hit for my family. What really made the experience stand out was the…read morestaff. This place has a genuine mom-and-pop feel, the kind where people actually care about the families coming through the door. Bekah at the front desk was the first person who really set the tone. My day had already been a bit hectic trying to coordinate everything, and she calmly helped straighten things out and get us settled in. Lindsay was fantastic out on the hill--super attentive and very protective of my boy's safety, which any parent immediately appreciates. Erik went above and beyond helping my 4-year-old son Sebastian when he was unsure about getting on the tube. That moment meant a lot to me as a parent. The kids working at the top of the hill kept the energy up and made it exciting for my boys every run. Back at the lodge, Bekah and Dee were everywhere helping people out and keeping things running smoothly. Dee in particular seemed to be all over the place making sure everyone had what they needed. Another big plus: they have all the gear you might need right there at the lodge, and the prices are very fair. If you forget something, don't turn around or stress about it--just settle in at the lodge and they'll get you taken care of. Honestly I could keep going, because everyone there contributed to making the day great. I was trying to divide my mind and body managing the kids, but the staff ended up being the glue that held the whole experience together. If you're bringing kids to Tahoe and want something fun, welcoming, and run by people who genuinely care, Tube Tahoe is the spot.

    This facility to check in is SMALL and the the bathrooms even SMALLER, it gets crowded, the staff…read moreseemed confused, on who was checking people in and who was walking people out and helping with tags. Once we finally got helped and paid we were giving tags and told end time, we were referred to go outside to wait for someone to add tags to our clothes so they could keep track of who's supposed to be an expectator and who's sledding, just to sit and watch you have to pay. Half the staff helping at the top of the snow was helpful and half was just getting by. Our kids made the best of it. Not sure if will make it back.

    Quality/Quantity - Our friends invited us to ski with them today. It just happened to be demo day:…read morefor season holders, it was member appreciation day with a free lunch. Can you believe that it has been around 15 years since I skied this resort?!?! Even in the 10+ years we stayed here in Incline, we never skied Diamond Peak, only Northstar... So it was nice to come back and relive the past. Small resort, even smaller today because a few chairs were closed. Plus, due to all the events, I believe there were 800+ people here today. And with this snowless season, the skiing was marginal... Skied a half day from 9am to 1pm; I quit when the snow got too wet. I was actually impressed that the snow held up so long on this beautiful hot day. Ambiance - So many activities today. See above. Also live bands, etc. Also, all the locals were so friendly, as friendly as my current local mountain, Mt Rose. Cut and pasted from their website: Elevation: 6,700ft - 8,540ft (2,042m - 2,603m). Vertical Drop: 1,840 feet (561 meters) 4th most in Lake Tahoe. Longest Run: 2.1 miles (3.4 kilometers). Skiable Acres: 655. Terrain: 30 runs, open glades, tree skiing. Beginner: 18%. Intermediate: 46%. Advanced: 36%. Terrain Park: The Village Terrain Park. Lifts: 6. Facilities and Amenities: Food outlets including Base Lodge Provisions, Wild Bill's BBQ and Snowflake Lodge. Bars: Loft bar, Snowflake Lodge, Wild Bill's BBQ, Lightning Grab-N-Go. Ski & Snowboard group and private lessons for ages 7 to adult. Child Ski & Ride Center for ages 3-6. Tuning and repair shop. Rental shop offering standard skis, snowboards, and demo / performance equipment. Retail and gift shop operated by Village Ski Loft. Lockers, daily and seasonal. Free ski shuttles serving the Hyatt and Incline Village. Facility and room rentals for weddings and group events. Free wifi internet: Base Lodge, Skier Services, Snowflake Lodge. Water fill stations. Electric vehicle charging stations. Service - Good. Price - Our friends have season passes and get free passes, so it was free today. But of course, we plan to take them out to lunch or dinner hopefully soon. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1966; happy 60th year anniversary!

The parking and trams are easy; the value is exceptional; the views from even the novice slopes can't be beat; the lodge food is solid; and the staff/instructors are top notch. The rentals were super streamlined and the lifts/runs well-maintained. If you are experienced, I can see it being too small of a resort, but for newbies and casual snow enthusiasts, it is perfect. I will definitely be returning!
