Ski site near Tahoe?

[steeliejunkie]

I will be in Lake Tahoe for work later in august. Any courses or schools nearby to get a set or two in?

Several options in Sacramento if you want to drive down the hill to ski.

a few ski lakes in reno too! All private or club lakes though.

I've skied recreationally on Lake Tahoe in Homewood (High Sierra waterskiing?) - no course. Decades ago, I skied the course at Boca dam but I don't know if the course is still there and I've heard Boca is extremely low water this year. South Lake might have recreational skiing.

 

There are a couple private lakes between Carson City and Minden but I haven't skied there in a while so I don't know who to contact. Ski in the morning and take a glider ride from the Minden airport afterward. Closer to South Lake as it takes me about an hour to get there from Squaw Valley.

 

There is high level coaching a couple hours away in the Sacramento area. Ryan Nason ( @Nason ) is in Yuba City, Terry Winter ( @twhisper ) spends time in Pleasant Oak (I'm not sure if he's at Liquid Zone or in Idaho) and Bel Aqua in Rio Linda has quality coaches as well. There are a lot of lakes with excellent conditions in the Sacramento area and most weekends there will be a tournament.
