Where to Ski in Tahoe early December?
Road tripping with my brother from bay area to Denver early December (10-15 roughly). Plan is to stop a day (or two if the snow is good) in Tahoe, then on to Park City for a few days, then to Denver. I am picking him up from the Reno airport, so if there's going to be shit snow everywhere I'd probably just stick to Northstar?
On the Epic local pass, so 3 main options are Kirkwood, Heavenly, and Northstar. Know next to nothing about any of them. Judging on type of terrain, elevation, and opening date, Kirkwood seems like it may have the best early season snow? And probably will be empty due to location. Plus lots of terrain we'd enjoy skiing.
Heavenly maybe seems like a good second choice, lots of terrain, nicer lodging too.
Just curious on local's thoughts. There's chance I'll be able to use a friend's California Gold pass, so may squeak in a day at Squaw too.
Will most likely book refundable lodging in a few places. I'm guessing the snow will be a good deal better in PC, considering it's probably going to be an El Nino year, but we might as well get in some skiing in at Tahoe before the 8 hour drive to SLC one day.

Shoot 3 hours down to Mammoth and pay for a pass, and ski with me there or at Squaw!
Out of those 3, Kirkwood
