Kirkwood is an adventurers dream. We are 45 minutes from South Lake Tahoe, an easy drive that provides an escape from the bustle of the Tahoe basin and our smaller size creates a real family connection amongst employees. We have terrain for all abilities and some of the best conditions in the Tahoe area. This is an incredible winter location for the thrill seekers, adrenaline junkies, or those just trying to get away from all the crowds! We are known for record snowfall, intense storms, backcountry guided tours and some truly epic runs. Close-knit doesn’t begin to describe the friendships between employees both in and outside of Vail on the mountain, and the ski community we have here.

Come check it out for a season and you won’t be able to stay away!
