Kirkwood ski resort locates in Kirkwood, California south of Lake Tahoe . Even though Sierra droughts can be extreme, Kirkwood is north-facing so snow preservation is at the top in the Sierra area and the best snow reliability in California, with an annual average of 459 inches of snow fall. Kirkwood’s terrain offers everything, from sauntering beginner runs to knee-buckling chutes. Kirkwood is popular for cliff drops and cornices due to the unique 2-mile ridgeline at the top of the mountain.
