We really enjoyed staying in the town of Truckee. It was a nice change from staying at on-mountain resorts where everything feels a little manufactured. Truckee is a cutesy town, particularly in the evenings with the illuminated trees on main street.

Truckee is a great central hub if you want to sample multiple Tahoe ski resorts, and it’s so much cheaper to stay and eat in Truckee versus the destination resorts, and there are plenty of restaurant options to choose from.
