Dodge Ridge Mountain Resort

The rating is for adult Level 1 ski lesson. We signed up for the lesson online. They charge a change fee of $20-60 if you don't change the lesson date three days in advance. We arrived 45 mins before the lesson. The check-in was at the lodge. The rental shop gave us shoes without any instructions to wear them even though we told them it was our first time skiing.

My daughter learned to snowboard here after a friend had recommended Dodge Ridge to us. Tahoe was just too far, expensive, and crowded. Staying overnight in Sonora and then driving an hour to Dodge Ridge made the most sense.

Dodge Ridge is the resort where I learned to ski as a kid, so it has a special place in my heart. It is still the resort where I bring beginners to learn, their lesson+rental+lift ticket package for beginners is a great value, and their mountain is beginner friendly.Nowadays I'm more of an Advanced/Expert level skiier, searching out steeps, slackcountry/off piste, pow, etc, and Dodge Ridge is really not the place for that. There's some decent terrain in spots, but it's a small mountain with slow lifts, I spend far more time waiting than I do sending it down the mountain. Still, not a bad place to go though by any means, far better than the cheaper resorts in Tahoe.Nice little disc golf cours...

Dodge Ridge was excellent especially the Staff and Ski Instructors. Somehow I messed up on registering my kids for lessons one was only registered for 10am class on Saturday the other 3 for Monday?‍they were very kind and let me put them all in the afternoon class even though it was full.One of my kids lost her sunglasses so she was not able to get lessons, rather than to lose the money they gave me a gift card to use at the Resort for the total value that was awesome so ski lifts, lessons etc.All in all it was a good day at the resort all the kids had a great time.The wine was excellent ? ?
