Heavenly Ski Holiday Resort
Overview
Heavenly get huge snowfalls over the season, what makes the resort unique are it borders California and Nevada. And the rustic ski lodges of California soon give way to the gambling palaces of the Nevada side. The skiing is legendary and for experts try the Gunbarrel run with twists and turns its way under the chairlift. Intermediate skiers are equally well catered for with the easy Ridge run through to some the more testing areas on the Milky Way Bowl. For beginners Lake Tahoe has some great areas to learn and progress.
Positive
- Great all round mixed ability resort
- Unique nightlife
- Snow sure
- Great tree skiing
Negative
- Not much character to South Lake Tahoe
- Casino hotels on the Nevada side
- No run back to the village
Offslope/apres ski
For gamblers Lake Tahoe is a dream but if that is not your thing try the hot air ballooning, snow shoeing and snowmobiling. Apres ski is varied and busy
