Ski-in-ski-out
There are only a few North Lake Tahoe/Truckee ski areas with Ski In-Ski Out properties. It also depends on how you define Ski In-Ski Out. Here are two categories:
- A truly Ski-in Ski-out property means that guests can walk out the door, put on their skis and ski either onto a ski run or ski to a lift and they can also ski from the top of a lift back to their door.
- A broader definition, used for many condominium properties, is that the property borders the ski area and guests can either ski from the edge of the property to a lift, or a ski run and then ski back to the edge of the property.
In the first category there are very few possibilities at the following ski areas;
- Northstar: This ski area offers the most Ski In-Ski Out possibilities. Some of the homes in the Big Springs neighborhood are Ski In-Ski Out. On the mountain there are several new Ski In-Ski Out high quality developments near, and some connected with, the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe: Stellar Residences; Martis 25, for home-sites and new custom homes; Constellation Residences for luxury condominiums, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Lake Tahoe for luxury hotel condominiums; and for townhomes, Home Run, Trailside Loop and Stellar Townhomes.

- Squaw Valley: A few homes in the Granite Chief neighborhood but they do not come available very often.
- Tahoe Donner: A very few homes border the Tahoe Donner downhill ski area and only come available occasionally.
- Donner Summit: To the south of Interstate 80 on Old Hwy 40 are these two ski resorts that have some Ski In – Ski Out homes and condominiums;
- Sugar Bowl: Again only a few homes in and around the ski area that do not come available very often.
- Donner Ski Ranch: There are a few slope side and base area condominiums that come available occasionally.
- Homewood: The Homewood Mountain Resort Ski Area Master Plan, that is in the regulatory approval process, when approved, will offer some home-sites that are truly Ski In-Ski Out.
In the second category there are a number of good possibilities in these condominium projects at the following ski areas;
- Northstar: Northstar Village, and a few of the older condominiums in the surrounding neighborhoods.
- Squaw Valley: Squaw Valley Lodge, Village at Squaw Valley and Resort at Squaw Creek.
- Tahoe Donner: Ski Bowl Condominiums
- Homewood Mountain Resort: The Homewood Resort Master Plan, when completed will offer a base area Village with a Hotel and mountain side condominiums.
