Arrival at Kirkwood

From the pass, it’s a short descent to your final destination: Kirkwood Mountain Resort. This reliable transport service is the best way to navigate this beautiful but challenging mountain pass, especially in winter.

Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) – Kirkwood Mountain Resort

The route includes CA-88 over Carson Pass, a high-elevation mountain pass. During winter, Caltrans (California’s Department of Transportation) often requires vehicles to have snow tires or carry chains. Our professional drivers and properly equipped vehicles are prepared for these conditions, ensuring a safe journey. The pass can occasionally close during severe storms, so it’s wise to build flexibility into your travel plans.

Absolutely. Our private SUVs and vans have spacious luggage storage and ski racks to accommodate your equipment safely. When booking, please inform us of the number of ski bags or snowboard bags you’ll be bringing so we can ensure the right vehicle is assigned for your trip.

The main towns with services like gas stations and restaurants are Gardnerville and Minden, which you pass through in the first 45 minutes of the trip. Once you begin the ascent on CA-88, services become very limited. We recommend grabbing any necessary snacks or drinks before leaving the Carson Valley area. Since it’s a private car service, you can request a brief stop.

Yes, we provide child and booster seats upon request, free of charge. Please specify the type and number of seats needed when you make your reservation to ensure they are installed and ready for your arrival. Safety for our youngest passengers is a top priority.
