Good hike, views are not as good as they used to be because the trees have grown up
The best view of Lake Tahoe from a ski resort. Don’t miss it! It’s at a cost though, 13 dollars for a hot dog and 9 for chili. Consider bringing some of your own food and a drink from here and take in the epic view.
Their food is overpriced but within the norms of a ski resort the chicken tenders and pulled pork sandwich are too dry
5 star views, 5 star staff (99%) and great good and drinks. You will want to avoid dropping things here while eating lunch or relaxing in the sun between runs, otherwise you get to play an adventure game.
Not sure how much better the location of a "mid mountain" ski chalet can get. Incredible views of the lake, surprisingly good beer list / draft selections. Didn't try the food but looked like your common pub snacks.
Very nice summer time hike.
