The Ridge Sierra

Beautiful views but tired old ski resort. Staff was friendly but units had not been updated in decades. I had never seen wood bathroom counter tops before this trip. Kitchen layout made it impossible for more than one person to be in there at a time. But nice enough.

We used our timeshare this year to visit Tahoe. The Ride Sierra had 2 hot tubs on the roof & multiple grills. You have access to the other two resorts nearby with swimming pools & more hot tubs, gym, pickle ball, racquetball etc & a restaurant. Our condo in our building was a 2/2 fully stocked kitchen etc. You check in virtually at their office on a phone. They print out a pkg pass & key cards. You can get any extras you need as far as supplies in that main office 24/7. We even made a trip out to Yosemite a couple of days & returned to the condo to finish out the week. It doesn't have A/C but we went this week 6-14 to 6-21 & it was very cold at night. You can get floor fans for the rooms if you want them. Our condo was quite a few steps down from pkg & with altitude of maybe 7,000 in Heavenly it was tough! So maybe ask for a higher room where you won't have the steps if you have any health issues or physical disabilities. It must be gorgeous in the winter there. Overall a wonderful experience! We went to all the "beaches" & by the end of the week it was prob 30's at night & a huge "controlled" fire also happening as we looked out to Carson from our balcony. Also 8ft waves in the lake Sat so pls check weather conditions prior to booking boats. Unfortunately a boat capsized.

The only issue we had was needing to get a new key several times the key would not open the gate dore beside that a wonderful location overlooking nature in the distance farm land and city near by skiing and snow
