The Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort is known for its family style affordable ski experience that is perfect for beginners. They offer ski instruction for kids as young as 3 with a kid-friendly menu at the cafeteria. Enjoy the wide-open terrain and uncrowded slopes. Beginners will enjoy their ‘magic carpet’ that takes you up a gentle slope instead of a chairlift. Because this is a small, local resort, you will enjoy access to lessons and hands on care that cannot be found at other ski resorts.
