Boreal Mountain Resort
May 6th, 2009
Boreal Mountain Resort is the home of the first and only all-mountain terrain park in Northern California. Pro Snowboarder David Benedek, the producer of “91 Words for Snow”, was all praises for Boreal. Clearly, this resort is worth checking out. Mix 380 acres with 500 vertical-feet; add 400 annual inches of snow, and you have a mountain ready to be cut! And with a 18 foot superpipe, this mountain attracts some amazing talent for all to see. Factor in its easy access, affordable rates, and night skiing, and you get a resort that is both made for everyone, but fun for even the most discerning snow-goer. Open from 9am to 9pm, this is one of Tahoe’s truly all day riding spots.
