Ski Areas Things to Do Guest Discounts Check-In Instructions What To Expect Property Damage Waiver Travel Insurance Donner Ski RanchNo frills, no fanciness, but all fun. Donner Ski ranch’s down-to-earth positioning makes it an easy choice as well as easy on the wallet, with some package pricing coming in less than 75% of what nearby resorts charge. Laid back vibes and thoughtful pricing doesn’t mean subpar skiing. With six chairlifts, 500 acres of varied terrain, and two moving carpets, skiers delight in the mountains’s 1,000 ft of vertical and expansive backside. With one of the highest base elevations in the Sierras, Donner Ski Ranch’s terrain invites advanced skiers to test the slopes and also offers easy access to novice runs, lessons, and equipment rentals. Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort Catering to kids as young as three, Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort invites skiers with its uncrowded slopes, easier terrain, and expansive bowls. Come for the skiing and stay for the warm, welcoming vibe the resort embodies. Rentals, lessons, youth and senior programs, and special events round out your winter escape. Sugar Bowl ResortPerched atop Tahoe’s Donner Summit, Sugar Bowl Resort is the closest major resort to Sacramento and the Bay Area. Sugar Bowl offers terrain to accommodate beginners and challenge experts, spreading across four peaks serviced by 13 lifts and 1500 acres with 500 inches of annual snowfall. As one of the country’s oldest ski areas, Sugar Bowl has kept its classic ski atmosphere while providing modern amenities. Guests can access the resort through two portals–a quick ride on the historic gondola to the snow bound Village or slope side parking at the modern Mt. Judah Day Lodge. Soda Springs Ski ResortBranding itself as Tahoe’s best kept skiing secret, Soda Springs Ski Resorts’ average of 240 of sunshine means that nothing will get in the way of the beauty of the Sierra Nevadas. Coupled with 400 inches of average snowfall, an elevation of 7,300 feet, 15 trails, and the Woodward Start Park, Soda Springs piles on the fun for skiers and snowboarders alike. NorthstarThe Sierra Nevadas host Northstar Resort’s 100 ski trails that wind through 3,170 skiable acres of mountain terrain. The 20 lifts cut wait time and get you on the mountain ASAP. Seven award-winning terrain parks and unmatched tree skiing enhance what this winter paradise provides. Another bonus?

ShoppingSpend a few hours or even a whole day browsing in Truckee’s pedestrian shopping village. From designer boutiques to specialty shops, Truckee Village offers a variety of shopping options for all tastes and budgets. Ice SkatingSharpen your blades because when Truckee’s temps dive, it’s time to hit (or swizzle or spin) on the ice. Stay in town and head to the Truckee Ice Rink located only half a mile from downtown and serviced by the town’s free shuttle. Sample the other rinks in the area at Northstar, Everline, and the Tahoe City Winter Sports Park for more on-ice thrills or laid-back laps. TubingMaybe skiing isn’t a fav–that doesn’t mean a no-snow, no-thrills getaway in Truckee. Plenty of tubing options are close by, including hills at Tahoe Donner, Soda Springs, Sugar Bowl, Northstar, and Palisades Resorts. Check out the slopes by day or book a time for Disco Tubing at night for a full sensory experience. Fat Tire BikingMore snow equals more time to fly through Truckee, just maybe not how you think. Rent a fat tire bike and traverse trails on these bikes with larger tires designed to ride over snow. Outfitters in town rent fat tire bikes and you can also head to Northstar to test out the resort’s trails. Downtown TruckeeHistory meets shopping meets culture meets all that California beauty. Downtown Truckee excels where it counts. Taste your way through the cafes, bars, and restaurants and sample some local craft brews either apres ski or outside in the sunshine. You can soak in more than the sun when you stop by cultural spots like the Museum of Truckee History or amble through the streets with a walking tour. Check the calendar and see if you’re in town for one of the town’s many festivals. Carnelian BayLake Tahoe in 1860, named Carnelian Bay for the semi-precious red and yellow stones peppering the shoreline. Today, Carnelian Bay Lake Tahoe is an annual destination for wooden boat enthusiasts coming from around the country for a weekend of cruising with the Concours d’Elegance wooden boat show. Year round, Carnelian Bay is the spot for big Mackinaw trout. The beaches are favorites with dogs, kayakers, Stand Up Paddle boarders and sunset seekers. King’s BeachLake Tahoe named Kings Beach after card shark Joe King, who won the town site from George Whittell nearly a century before poker had a cult cable-TV following. This North Lake Tahoe spot wrote the book on mellow vibes. Kings Beach stands in the sun’s path from early morning into the evening, with a signature downtown public beach plus hip shops, restaurants, and side-street vendors. Rent kayaks and paddle boards, or if you want a little more action, venture off on one of the many hiking trails on foot or via bike. Tahoe CityPerched on the shore of Lake Tahoe at the headwaters of the Truckee River (Lake Tahoe’s only outlet), Tahoe City’s mélange of playful year-round activities awaits every visitor. Try the free Sunday afternoon concerts on the beach, and the best golfing deal around at Tahoe City’s nine-hole course. Experience the quiet of the lake while having plenty of entertainment options close by. Enjoy four-star dining, homegrown coffee shops, shopping, galleries, and a leisurely stroll through town on the Lake-view boardwalk. Donner SummitToday, Donner Summit and the Donner Pass blend its tragic past and forward-looking future. Visit the site of the party that met its tragic fate and also visit the general stores for goods and souvenirs. Cafes and restaurants, hiking trails, biking trails, endless views, fishing guides, sandy beaches, and amazing slopes lure boarders and skiers alike to Sugar Bowl, Norden, and Donner Ski Ranch. The amphitheater of granite at the west end of the lake is lined with rock climbing routes that are among the worlds most famous. Incline VillageIncline Village is a north Lake Tahoe adventurer’s paradise. In summer, theatergoers soak in the creativity at the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at nearby Sand Harbor. Mountain bikers can get their game on with screamers down the Flume trail, which drains into the Village. Swim in the waters in summer and head to Diamond Peak Ski Area (in the city limits) and Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe when the snow falls. Feeling lucky? Head to the casino to see if Lady Luck is on your side. Hiking & BikingRocky vistas, alpine trees, and endless blue skies invite you to explore Truckee’s trials by foot or bike. Honestly if all you did was hike or bike during your stay, you wouldn’t exhaust the hundreds of miles of trails at Tahoe National Forest, Donner Memorial State Park, and more. Set off on your own or book a guided trail that winds you through the wilderness. Fly FishingPut the phone on silent and let the water provide the ultimate soundscape as you cast a line for trout, salmon, and bass. Fly fishing in Truckee is a four-season sport–plan your trip around your preferred catch. Three distinct rivers-the Truckee, Upper Truckee, and Little Truckee–all beckon anglers to test their skills. Don’t forget to try out area lakes, too, to see what’s biting. GolfingSerious golfers, weekend course warriors, and people new to the links flock to the courses surrounding Truckee. Northstar Golf Course sits at 6,000 feet above sea level, making balls fly 10 to 15 yards further–instant bonus! Tee off on Tahoe Donner’s golf course and enjoy its recent $2 million in upgrades, including new greens, redesigned tees, and enlarged fairways. Try out the courses at Ponderosa, the Links and Everline, Coyote Moon, and more. Arts & CultureTruckee’s museums and cultural institutions create a bridge from the past to the present. Spend time at the Donner Memorial State Park Visitor Center and Museum to learn about the Native American history of the area as well as the story of the ill-fated pioneers who perished at Donner Pass. Train buffs will relish in the Truckee Railroad Museum (located in a caboose!) and continue onto the Museum of Truckee History in the train station. Step inside one of the West’s only remaining jails at the Old Jail Museum. Art lovers, don’t miss the Truckee Cultural District’s galleries and huge makerspace area. Whitewater RaftingCome and ski the slopes in winter, then grab a raft and paddle through the snow melt when the weather heats up. The Truckee River sees adventurers battle the rapids and area companies will gear you up and guide you to the river’s most thrilling spots. Rock ClimbingThousands of feet of granite is a climber’s paradise. Scale the vertical walls of Donner Summit or take a lesson at Tahoe Mountain School. Guide companies will have you on the rocks and tailor lessons for all kinds of groups. The best time of year to climb the Truckee area is June through September and always be weather-aware before heading out (and up). Ski ButlersNeed ski rentals in North Lake Tahoe?

SkyRun provides photos, maps, amenity details and reviews about the property you will be renting. Our staff has first-hand knowledge of each property, so don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions. What’s included? Our rentals come fully furnished including TVs, high-speed internet, linens and towels, a microwave, dishes, pots, pans, and other kitchen essentials. We sweat the details and provide a starter kit of supplies like shampoo, conditioner, tissues, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soaps, trash bags, etc. We provide everything you expect from a fine hotel, and then some. Refer to the individual listings to see more amenity information, and please contact us directly if you still have questions. Am I getting a good deal? When you book direct with SkyRun you avoid paying service fees that traditional listing channels, like Airbnb, charge. Our prices are also competitive with rent-from-owner rates, but we offer professional service, optional travel insurance, and immediate on-site assistance should the need arise. In addition, we offer exclusive discounts from local businesses, available only to SkyRun guests. SkyRun can help you plan and save on your entire vacation experience, not only the rental itself. How does travel insurance work? Travel insurance is an optional addition to your total rental charges. It is offered on our reservation form at the time of booking. It is also usually offered at the time of booking when you booked with a 3rd party booking site. You can also add travel insurance onto your reservation within 48 hours of booking. The cost of travel insurance varies and is usually between 7% - 9.5% of your total reservation cost depending on the coverage type. If you do not have travel insurance, you can not cancel your reservation for any reason. If you have travel insurance and need to cancel or make a claim refer to your specific policy. More information about the travel insurance policies SkyRun offers can be found here. How do I rent a property? What are the deposit and payment terms? You can rent any of our properties by booking directly on this website using a credit card or you can call to book a reservation if you would like to speak with a vacation planner. When you book, 25% of your total reservation cost is charged as a refundable deposit to secure your rental. 30 days before your arrival, the remaining amount is due and becomes non-refundable if you need to cancel for any reason (see travel insurance above for exceptions). At this time, the credit card we have on file will be automatically charged for the balance. How do I check-in? For most properties, SkyRun utilizes a convenient keypad lock system which allows you to enter your vacation rental using a personalized access code, as opposed to having to pick up a key and worrying about keeping track of it during your stay and returning it afterwards. This also saves you the trouble of coming to a check-in center beforehand. Your welcome packet will be in your rental upon arrival, and our staff is always only a phone call away if questions arise. What are the house rules? Smoking and pets are prohibited in the rentals (unless specifically designated as pet-friendly). No parties where more than the number of people the property sleeps are allowed in the rental at any time. As in your own home, renters are of course subject to citations for noise violations, etc, handed down by public officials. Remember you are staying as a guest in someone's home, where much investment has been made to make your stay enjoyable; please treat all private property with the respect it deserves.
