KIRKWOOD MOUNTAIN RESORT

The Stuff Of Legend Magical raw expansive and remote Kirkwood is the stuff of legend. With the deepest driest snow around and some of North Americas most diverse and challenging terrain Kirkwood offers big mountain riding with small town attitude. Its about adventure and challenge. Discovery from exploration. Personal satisfaction from personal challenge. At the end of the day a uniquely rewarding experience that can only be had at a handful of places on Earth. Tucked away about 35 miles southwest of South Lake Tahoe Kirkwood is out of the way but the reward is well worth the effort of finding it. Our unique location atop the Sierra Crest combined with elevations ranging 7800 to 9800 feet create a little something we like to call the K-Factor a geographical predisposition to receive the lightest the driest and the most plentiful snow in the Tahoe region. With 2000 feet of vertical drop and over 2300 acres of terrain from calm groomed beginner runs to hair raising cornices cliffs and the most high angle grooming around theres something for everyone at the Wood. In the summertime Kirkwood turns into a picturesque high alpine adventure playground World class rock climbing hiking mountain biking horseback riding and fishing are all just within a stones throw of the resort. Fields of wildflowers will take your breath away during the summer months and the turning aspens make a beautiful backdrop during the fall months.
