SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The 2012 TransWorld SNOWboarding Resort Poll lists Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort among the Top 10 Overall Resorts in the United States.

The resort poll ranks mountains based on mountain features such as parks and pipe, terrain, and other areas such as vibe, snowfall, lodging, food, and etcetera.

“Every year we ask our readers to rank the best three resorts they rode at in the last year, judging everything from jumps to grooming to rail variety,” said TransWorld Editor-in-Chief Annie Fast. “TransWorld readers have voted Sierra-at-Tahoe into the Resort Poll Top 10 year after year. Our readers love the parks and powder, and the resort consistently ranks in Top 10 Vibe. You know the vibe is good just by the popularity of the Sierra-at-Tahoe hoodies — their riders are loyal.”

Sierra Resort was recognized among the Top 10 Best Parks in the nation, earned by scoring high in specific categories like jump and rail design, grooming, variety of features, overall vibe, and park challenge. Sierra also landed in the top ten for the following categories: 

• No. 7 Overall Resort

• No. 10 Best Park

To be recognized as one of the best makes it all worthwhile.”
