Donner Ski Ranch offers great food with large servings, including delicious breakfast, homemade pies, and deep fried zucchini. It features a bar with tasty drinks and killer Bloody Marys. The spot has a great atmosphere with a killer old school Tahoe vibe and nice views. The staff is friendly and super nice, handling busy crowds with ease. It is a delightful spot for lunch with vegetarian options and special Latin and Thai food nights. It serves as a regular stop for many, including hikers.
Very easy to get tickets and get on the slopes. Took our niece and nephew and they had a good time as beginners on the front side of the mountain

I was shocked by how empty it was on a Monday. There were more ski slope staff than skiers or snowboarders. Donner has a nice mix of slop difficulties.
