Tahoe Information
The New York Times (Jan 8, 2012)
45 Places to go in 2012
Lake Tahoe was listed as number 30.
"New lifts, lodging, trails and snowcat rides.
Lake Tahoe's seven major ski areas have been undergoing a dizzying slate of improvements that will eventually tally at least $100 million. Most notable is Squaw Valley's November merger with adjacent Alpine Meadows; at 6000 acres, it now offers the most ski terrain in the United States. Guests can take a free shuttle between base areas and will find, among other upgrades, new ski school services, expanded terrain parks, a kids' snow-play area with mini snowmobiles, and new restaurants, including Rocker @ Squaw, a burger joint where skiers can upload their own helmet-cam videos to TV.
Improvements at Northstar, recently acquired by Vail Resorts, include a quad chairlift and an on-mountain restaurant with stellar views of the Pacific Crest. Advanced skiers can explore 170 acres of new gladed terrain or hop a snowat to ski the Sawtooth Ridge. Likewise, Sierra-at-Tahoe introduced snowcat rides to Huckleberry Canyon. Kirkwood renovated its Mountain Club hotel and Heavenly added three trails, a children's ski school center and a kids' trail."

What's New This Ski Season
"The most striking changes are taking place here. Most recently, Squaw Valley divulged that te resort is joining forces with neighboring Alpine Meadows, meaning both mountains will be accessible on one lift ticket or season pass. The good news for Squaw regulars (and homeowners), is that the acquisition triggered a 5-year, $50 million commitment to capital improvements."

Tahoe Quarterly (Winter 2011-2012)
Birth of America's Largest Ski Area
"Ski resorts rivaleries can be famously fierce, maybe not college basketball fierce, but certain fuel for many apres ski argument. Nearby resorts-MadRiver Glen and Sugerbush in Vermont, Alta and Snowbird in Utah - can develop very opposite personalities. Certainly that was the case with Tahoe's Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, whose locals have viewed each with a mixture of admiration and contempt....
The biggest individual winners of the Squawpine merger right away are certainly its season pass holders, who can now choose daily between two world-class ski mountains, depending on conditions and whims. Someday, maybe soon, you'll be able to ski from one to the other, creating a true European mega-resort experience, traveling by ski or board between far boundaries and scattered lodges between mountain valleys. However, as the two resort cultures change and adapt, the birth of Squawpine is one of the most dramatic devlopments in Tahoe skiing and snowboarding in decades, and maybe the start of even more exciting things to come."
