Kirkwood Mountain Sports - Timber Creek — Local services in South Lake Tahoe

Nofrills place for rentals and some skiing/boarding stuff. In person rental price is slightly higher than off-site shops. However, gears seems to be higher quality. And you get discount yo order online in advance.

Other skiing gears for sale are generally higher price. That's great for emergency situations. Gear shopping should be done before you get to the resort anyways.

Stuff move quite fast to get renter out of the door. Ordering online save you two stops, so that's even faster. You can keep your own shoes there if you also rent boots. the lifts are right out of the door. Kirkwood's lift ticket is cheaper than Heavenly or Northstar. So it's a great place to learn with your Epicpass holder friends. Get buddy pass from them for even better prices.

It would be nice if the lift was a bit quicker going up and the off ramp wasn't so steep for learners. It's a quick drop for very small kids and newbies. The lift had.to stop multiple times one time I was there. More time on the lift than the run itself. Great Mountain overall for intermediate to advanced risers who want...

Coach Aaron changed our perspective about their private lesson and our entire skiing experience! First off, we booked everything online, it was a breeze to get our rentals and find our coach. The magic carpet and lifts were not as crowded as last time and that made learning a little easier. In addition, coach Aaron was simply amazing as a teacher who taught a 3 year old to go from 0 experience to bunny lift within 3 hours. At the same time he helped perfect a 7 year old, and 2 adults. My only caveat about the private lesson setup is that neither rentals nor lift tickets are included in the cost which can make the overall experience a...
