Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Area is committed to being the best place for family fun and learning in the Tahoe region. Located 15 miles west of Truckee, it offers a unique family experience and is known for its successful Learn to Ski program, one of the only programs in the area that starts teaching kids as young as 3 years old. In addition, its size allows it to deliver that personal touch that larger ski areas can’t always provide.
