We acknowledge that we may be a little biased to call Reno the best ski town in the U.S., but it’s true. With more than a dozen ski resorts just a short driving distance from the Biggest Little City in the World, we’re pretty lucky to be able to enjoy all of the amenities and winter sports offered by being so close to the mountains.

 

Northern Nevada also once had the highest concentration of ski and snowboard resorts in all of North America. While the area has slipped in the rankings slightly, there are no shortage of resorts to visit, including:

  1. Boreal
  2. Diamond Peak
  3. Donner Ski Ranch
  4. Granlibakken
  5. Heavenly Mountain Resort
  6. Homewood Mountain Resort
  7. Kirkwood Mountain Resort
  8. Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe
  9. Northstar California Resort
  10. Palisades Tahoe
  11. Royal Gorge
  12. Sierra-at-Tahoe
  13. Soda Springs Ski Resort
  14. Sugar Bowl Resort
  15. Tahoe Donner

The Reno-Tahoe area gets more than 400 inches of snow each year, and the ski season often lasts from November through April. This fact alone draws in hundreds of skiers and snowboarders each year, but there are some places that only locals would know about, like Sky Tavern.

 

Sky Tavern has taught thousands of people how to ski or ride, and recently they won the coveted National Ski Area Association “Conversion Cup.” That’s an award given to the North American ski area deemed best at “creating lifelong enthusiasts.” Sky Tavern isn’t just known for teaching kids to navigate the fresh powder like pros. They also host a variety of programs and classes, including a ski swap and a ski and snowboard rental.

 

If you still don’t believe us when we say Reno is one of the best ski towns in the U.S., Reno was also voted the second-best ski town in the USA TODAY 10BEST Reader’s Choice 2016.

 

The snowy weather is just one of the things we love about calling Reno home. ​​​​If you have questions about moving or what it’s like relocating to the Reno-Sparks community, contact the David Morris Group. We’re always happy to share our knowledge of the area and the real estate market!
