About this stay
A solid mid-range base if you're skiing a different resort each day. It's central, and I-80 is right there.
About Truckee
Truckee is an old railroad town that grew into a mountain town for locals. Downtown is brick storefronts and very good restaurants, and plenty of people live here year-round, so it feels lived-in. It sits right on I-80, which puts more resorts within a short drive than any other base.
Skiing nearby: Northstar is about 15 min out. Sugar Bowl and Boreal are 15–25 min via I-80, and Palisades is about 20 min down Hwy 89. No other base puts this many resorts this close.
