huckleberry canyon - UNleash THE EXTREME!

The 320 acres known as Huckleberry Canyon is now part of Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort! The newly incorporated terrain offers expert skiers and snowboarders unprecedented lift access to raw, steep & deep terrain. Classified as Extremely Challenging - Experts Only, Huckleberry Canyon offers cliff drops, cornice drops, rock chutes, open bowls, gladed runs and powder pillows to those ready to unlock the extreme.

As with all double black diamond terrain, Huckleberry Canyon should only be accessed by expert skiers and riders who are knowledgeable about traveling in extreme and variable snow terrain and conditions. Conditions can change quickly so check with ski patrol to find out which gates are open and ready to access.
