Some mountains live in the shadow of others with wider reputations and bigger numbers.Great destinations like Brighton in Utah, Grand Targhee in Wyoming and Kirkwood, near Lake Tahoe. These resorts make a virtue of their smaller size, getting you to the terrain you like quickly and making it easy for skiers of different abilities to stay in contact.
Kirkwood is a standout in terms of natural beauty and terrain variety, with everything from the greenest greens to hair-raising chutes and cornices. On holiday weekends, it's a non-stop floor show at the top of The Wall, with skiers and riders of all abilities peering over and dropping in. You can stay slopeside at Kirkwood, or drive about 40 minutes from the resort to South Lake Tahoe.

reviewed January 30, 2009 at 7:58 pm Kirkwood is a great mountain considering how close it is to home (San Francisco), but it could really use some updating. There is only a single high-speed quad and the other lifts are incredibly slow. They also tend to breakdown and stop more than I've seen at any other resort. They are trying to expand their terrain, and there's some great stuff available, I just wish it was easier to access.
I still remember skiing some very tough terrain at 7-8 years old; the chutes below chair 10's cliffline and Thunder Saddle, Norm's Nose, Palisades Bowl, etc. etc.
