Have been hitting Kirkwood for over 20 years now for some of the most technical runs in Tahoe, and they always have the deepest amount of snow because they are located about an hour south of Lake Tahoe. My first borne learned to ski here. Some key issues to be aware of: —Kids ski school area is at the first lodge when driving in called Timber lodge—this is nicely tucked away from the rest of the resort. —There are many condos to stay at that are truly ski in/ski out, but dining and shopping options are limited. There aren’t really any cities located nearby Kirkwood. It is best to bring food if staying in a condo with a kitchen. —As of April-2022, attached are pics from our balcony of the Mountain Club Lodge Room #s 201-203 (rooms are adjoined to make a 2-bedroom condo). This unit is located within a stone’s throw of “The Wall” lift and you can easily ski down to Solitude or Cornice. —Food options are really limited—you need to bring food or make sure you order dinner BEFORE 330p and just save it for dinner time because there are NO dining options after 330p, and the tiny market closes at 5p. —There still are no options to bring your dog into a Kirkwood rental unit.

Great skiing. The weather was fantastic so it helped but the place is great anyway. Many different ski runs tailored to different types of skiers, well groomed and decent waiting times

The drive into Kirkwood was great, as soon as you are on the Kirkwood grounds, the workers will assist you in parking your car. I would have given this resort 5 stars but the resort does not have as many amenities as some ski parks do. Also, we were told to wear our masks while eating indoors. Made no sense.

Kirkwood has amazing powder and amazing trails with great skiing and snowboarding lessons. My only problems with this place is one of the managers paid us double for some food and would not let us get the receipt and was caught in the process. Also while going of the lift i was given the dirty look multiple times from one worker for holding on the seat bar and not putting the safety bar does even when nobody uses it. All in all the resort is mind blowing but the customer service is disappointing.
