GETTING THERE
Nearest Airports
Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.
Reno is a gateway from the east. From Sacramento or the Bay Area, the usual approach follows I-80 toward Truckee and then Highway 89 toward the resort. Check road and chain controls during storms. On designated winter dates, reserve parking for the base you intend to use. TART, resort park-and-ride services and Mountaineer in the two valleys offer alternatives. Check the service area and timetable for your dates.
