Sierra-at-Tahoe is the home mountain of Olympic Gold Medalists Jamie Anderson, Maddie Bowman and Hannah Teter. Located on the western edge of Lake Tahoe, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Sierra-at-Tahoe was founded back in 1946 by brothers Ray and Floyd Barrett. By 2006 it had morphed into a steady rhythm of producing Olympic champions when Hannah Teter took home the gold in women’s halfpipe. This resort has been the training grounds for Olympic medalists ever since, including this year’s slopestyle gold medal winner and big air silver medalist, Jamie Anderson.
Sierra-ar-Tahoe has grown into one of Lake Tahoe’s biggest ski resorts at over 2,000 skiable acres and remains a perennial favorite for locals, travelers, and Olympians alike.
