Squaw is undoubtedly the best resort in tahoe. KT22 (steeps), Granite Chief (rocks), and Red Dog (trees) are all sick. It's only flat when you're crusing to the bottom from the top of the funitel.
Next time you go to cali you should try Mammoth. The main problem with Mammoth is how far it is away from civilization. It's a 5 hour drive from LA, 5 hour drive from Vegas, 6-7 hour drive from SF (even though it's closer - all of the passes are closed during the winter), and even 3 hours from Reno. Since mammoth is about 2-3K feet higher than tahoe, the snow stays around longer, and from my experience, the snow was a little drier (it's a little dryer the more south you go). I went in May a few years back and was absolutely blown away by the place (still not better than whistler - based purely on terrain).
