Kirkwood in the Lake Tahoe region may not be having its best ever season for snowfall, but the Californian resort, rated by some J2skiers as the world's best, has announced a $6 million spend for this winter on upgraded on-slope accommodation at its Mountain Club as well as new retail and some fresh events on the slopes.
These include the 'Girl Powder' Mountain Festival running from 2nd to 4th March which is described as, "A celebration of women and mountain culture including the Queen of the Park event, live women's DJ's, parties and entertainment."
Then three weeks later the Freeride Flow Festival will run from 23rd to 25th March, aiming to, "...blend training, empowerment and instruction from the biggest names in the snow-sports industry along with music, DJ's and plenty of fun."
At the resort base Kirkwood Outfitters is a new $1 million facility that's home to special clinics, high end shopping and demo gear rentals and is the new place to find private guide to the slopes and to backcountry awareness.
The Mountain Club now includes two-bedroom condos, spa and massage treatment facilities and a new restaurant along with a re-designed, state of the art rental facility.
