Your last question first: I live part of the time in Reno, and part in Vegas...so I guess Reno counts as the Lake Tahoe area. I have skiied at all three resorts in question, and stayed in South Lake
Hi: I know that Northstar has ski-in/ski-out condos that are very popular......and right on the trails. People I know that have stayed there really like them...plus its a nice, family-friendly resort
>You said there is free camping at Valley of Fire about an hour north of Las Vegas. Could you please clarify the location? Is it on Hiway 95 or 93 or 15. I will be traveling from Yosemite National Park
