Question
Hi Janet:
We are interested in spending a week in a nice ski resort in Lake Tahoe from 10-17 Feb 2010.  We are two families with 4 children each.  
Do you know of any deluxe villas / condos with ski-in ski-out or close to the ski lifts?  What area do you recommend?  Heavenly, Squaw or Northstar?  
Hoping you can guide us in a good direction and help us find the place we need at a good price!
Thanks,
Jack

Answer
Hi:  I know that Northstar has ski-in/ski-out condos that are very popular......and right on the trails.  People I know that have stayed there really like them...plus its a nice, family-friendly resort.  

Squaw is a lot bigger, and the condos are more at the bottom of the lift.  Harder to keep track of kids there...but maybe more non-skiing activities (ice-skating etc).  More expensive.

Heavenly is on the south side of the lake, in the city...more of a gambling/nightlife atmosphere.  Again, there condos are at the bottom of the lift.

If you want to "get away from it all" I would go with Northstar.  The best prices might be at Heavenly, but check around.  Book now, that is THE most popular week in Tahoe (President's weekend/Valentine's Day).....
