I thought the trip was great! I brought my daughters for their first time skiing and they had SO much fun. Most of the lifts were open, though my wife and kids only used the easy slopes, which was just fine. There weren't many people there at all and we didn't have to wait once for a lift. One of my daughters had a lesson and the staff was great. I think she has more confidence than me now. We got a great deal through Liftopia for rentals and lift tickets and saved a lot of money too! Definitely gonna do it again. Try going on a weekday if you can.

Its a great place to ski on your way up to Tahoe, since you can get there late and still ski until 9 pm. I agree with the other reviewers that some lifts were closed and I was disappointed. But after asking around and at other resorts, this seems to be a really slow season and many resorts had some lifts closed.

I bought a ticket that included one lift ticket and one tubing ticket. I was really excited to go tubing after snowboarding, but the tubing area was closed when my friends and I walked over at 2:30pm (a full 90 minutes before the entire resort was closing). So if you want to go tubing, go early or ask what time they'll close!

I went on a Monday, and there were only two lifts open and only a couple possible runs. I hadn't been skiing in years and I was really looking forward to it, but I found myself bored after only a few trips down the mountain. If you're going to go to this resort, confirm beforehand that they have most of their lifts open. Otherwise this resort gets very boring very fast.

Explore around Boreal. There is so much more than you can see from I-80.
