Granlibakken   I went here one time with my mom and dad when I was a little girl, it was so much fun. There were a lot of other kids skiing there also. Says Fizz. The seasonal snowfall is more or less average at Granlibakken. A 300 foot drop is naturally not that much, but all the other nice qualities of Granlibakken compensate for it. Granlibakken has a rather humble selection of runs and not many lifts. This ski resort has a much lower than average ratio of expert     and advanced ski runs and a much higher than average share of easy runs. The Northern Sierra Nevada in winter is a tremendously good place if you get pleasure from snowboarding or skiing. The unbelievable 17 feet of yearly snowfall is more than enough for really great depth. With a skiable terrain of 10 acres, it's more of a cozy style ski area. The snowboarding and the skiing in this part of the country is a splendid thing to do through the winter season. This is a small-size ski mountain boasting a smaller than average vertical drop when you compare it to other ski resorts in the region. This ski mountain is nice and cozy operated by kind folks. The winter in California is truly a good   time of year for snowboarding or skiing. This is a good ski mountain for young and old with lots of intermediate or beginner ski slopes for beginners. The Northern Sierra Nevada and its mountains give this ski hill a tremendously good vista. You get loads of skiers going up here from Gardnerville Ranchos on snow-white weekends. Some people prefer skiing and some snowboarding, either way, around here, you'll encounter a lot of great ski resorts. Magnificent exercise and getting out of the house for a while will have you returning. There are several fine hotels near the main area, but you'd better book in advance of a trip given that these hotels fill up rapidly.          Hotels Near Granlibakken ski area, Northern Sierra Nevada, California Granlibakken Tahoe, Tahoe City .1 miles away Americas Best Value Inn, Tahoe City 1.2 miles away River Ranch Lodge And Restaurant, Tahoe City 3.2 miles away Resort At Squaw Creek, Olympic Valley 5 miles away Village At Squaw Valley, Olympic Valley 5.9 miles away PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn, Olympic Valley 6.1 miles away Worldmark Olympic Village Inn, Olympic Valley 6.3 miles away One Village Place By Welk Resorts, Truckee 6.8 miles away The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, Truckee 7.6 miles away Northstar Resort, Truckee 7.8 miles away Tahoe Vistana Inn, Tahoe Vista 8.1 miles away Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort, Tahoe Vista 8.4 miles away Franciscan Lakeside Lodge, Tahoe Vista 8.6 miles away Hampton Inn - Suites Tahoe-Truckee, Truckee 8.6 miles away Best Western Plus Truckee-Tahoe Hotel, Truckee 8.9 miles away * Distances listed are direct linear distances, actual travel distance may be different.   Pictures of Granlibakken ski area Bigger Picture Stats Detailed Stats Contact Info Phone, Email, Address, GPS coordinates Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Granlibakken ski area.   Ski Areas Near Granlibakken ski area: Homewood, California , 4 miles away    1650 foot drop, 8 lifts, 56 runs    35% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    15% Beginner Alpine Meadows, California , 6 miles away    1802 foot drop, 14 lifts, 100 runs    35% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    25% Beginner Northstar at Tahoe, California , 6 miles away    2280 foot drop, 17 lifts, 70 runs    25% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    25% Beginner Squaw Valley, California , 6 miles away    2850 foot drop, 33 lifts, 177 runs    30% Expert & Adv.    45% Intermediate    25% Beginner Tahoe Donner, California , 13 miles away    600 foot drop, 4 lifts, 14 runs    0% Expert & Adv.    40% Intermediate    60% Beginner Sugar Bowl, California , 15 miles away    1500 foot drop, 13 lifts, 85 runs    38% Expert & Adv.    45% Intermediate    17% Beginner Donner Ski Ranch, California , 15 miles away    750 foot drop, 7 lifts, 52 runs    25% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    25% Beginner Boreal, California , 17 miles away    500 foot drop, 10 lifts, 41 runs    15% Expert & Adv.    55% Intermediate    30% Beginner Diamond Peak, Nevada , 17 miles away    1840 foot drop, 6 lifts, 30 runs    36% Expert & Adv.    46% Intermediate    18% Beginner Soda Springs, California , 18 miles away    625 foot drop, 5 lifts, 16 runs    20% Expert & Adv.    50% Intermediate    30% Beginner   Whitewater Near Granlibakken ski area: Truckee River, Placer / Nevada County , 13 miles away, Class II-III - 27 miles long (Stampede Meadows Road to Floriston) Truckee River, Nevada / Sierra / Washoe County , 17 miles away, Class III - 8 miles long (Farad Powerhouse to Verdi) American River - South Fork, El Dorado County , 19 miles away, Class IV-V - 9.6 miles long (Strawberry to Kyburz)   Trails Near Granlibakken ski area: Pacific Crest Trail - section 14, overlapping , 5 miles away, 54.3 hiking miles, 2897 feet elevation difference General Creek Trail, El Dorado , 7 miles away,  11.2 hiking miles, 1596 feet elevation difference Big Spring Trail, Placer , 8 miles away,  2.2 hiking miles, 289 feet elevation difference   Golf Courses Near Granlibakken ski area: Tahoe City Golf Course, Tahoe City , 1 miles away Lahontan Golf Club, Truckee , 7 miles away Northstar At Tahoe Golf Course, Truckee , 8 miles away
