- EricRocklin, CA169 contributionsBeautiful quiet place for a winter hike and enjoy the snow. Snowshoes or cross country skis suggested, though you could just have good boots. There was a big storm last weekend, so the snow today was really amazing.Written December 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ShampeuNorthbrook, IL397 contributionsWe thought this was a great resort. The lifts ran well, many runs were groomed, and the signage told us which runs were groomed. We ate lunch outside on the mountain and, even though the food wasn't good, we were happy to have the option to eat outside.Written January 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA14,593 contributionsThis is a convenient resort for winter sports. It is right on I-80 and much closer than Lake Tahoe in driving time. It's a big basic slope with groomed experiences and lifts and a big parking lot. Icy on the day I was there.Written March 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Matt FSan Francisco, CA19 contributionsThis is a community gem and very well maintained bike park with Green, Blue and Black trails it has something for everyone including little ones just learning to ride.

- tinaNtravelSan Jose, CA1,785 contributionsWe hiked to Martis Peak from Brockway Summit on 267 just outside King City, North Lake Tahoe. It was a fairly nice hike through the forest and then through a meadow. The trail is listed as moderate, and I would list it as easy-moderate, for the most part. Towards the end of the hike, we passed a parking lot and then had to walk up a paved road to get to the peak. At the peak, is a picnic table, an outhouse, and the look out. Inside the look out, there are drawings with names of all the peaks on that side of the look out, which was very nice - as you could see the name of what you were looking at. Unfortunately, the day we were there, the smoke from the wild fires had blown in and we barely saw any of the view - it was that hazy. We would definetly do this hike again, once the fire danger/smoke is well gone, as we'd really like to see the view - it has got to be fantastic.Written September 16, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- drastlerRoseville, CA455 contributionsI ski N* in winter. Took my 9 yr old grandson mountain biking for first time. This place is for experienced bikers but first timers can have fun too if you take it easy.. Go for the full gear rental to be safe. We only did green runs- there are two. The blues are pretty hard for first timers.
The EPIC pass is use less. The prices are pretty high but they have great terrain and great gear. For the price I wish more lifts were running. I would have liked to get up to Mt Pluto and did the east ridge trail. Get there early. I did a full day pass; half day pass is less but does not start until 2 pm.Written August 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
