Boreal
Weather @Boreal
Folsom is 70 miles door to door to Sierra-Tahoe resort. It takes ~1.30 hrs to reach sierra. This is a medium size resort that is near South Lake Tahoe. It is very well managed. It gets a bit crowded on Weekends but is a fabulous resort for families, and has a great balance of ski runs. You can preview it on the web at www.sierraattahoe.com
The beginner areas such as Donner Ski Ranch or Boreal are on Interstate 80 which would be a better drive.
