Can someone recommend a good ski around Lake Tahoe?

Question

Taking my 7yo son skiing next Christmas and I am looking for recommendations on ski areas that are good for a kid that has never skied before.

Answer 1

Depends on what part of the lake you are going to be at.  I stayed at the south part and thought Heavenly had the easiest terrain.

Answer 2

I like Heavenly.  It has a LOT of varied terrain and is fun.  I spent the day skiing from Nevada to California, took the gondola down to the village to get lunch, and then skied back to Nevada.  It was a good day.

Diamond Peak is nice, small resort.
