Secret stashes, untracked powder?
On the weekend? No.
The trick to the Tahoe ski areas is to go during the week. For me, the weekend only works if the conditions are really good and I get there early enough so that I get a decent parking space (i.e., I arrive a half hour before the park opens). And things still pretty much suck because of the crowds.

Is it wise to wear a pack if you want to move around the mountain a bit?
Some people swear by packs, but I've seen people get their packs caught in the chair lift and get tangled up as they are trying to get off. Not pretty.
Me, I just have a couple of big zipper pockets in my jacket and keep my wallet, cell phone, and a cloth to wipe my goggles in there. Everything else gets stuffed in a locker at the lodge. I'm not the type of person to carry a water bottle with me on the slopes... if I'm thirsty, I just go back to the lodge.
