 Heavenly
Valley, California - Heavenly is one of the numerous
Lake Tahoe region's all-star resorts. Huge vertical, staggering
views and slightly tamer terrain combine to make Heavenly
a more popular intermediate choice than nearby Squaw Valley,
Kirkwood and Alpine Meadows (to name just a few). But with
a 10,100 top elevation (the highest in the Tahoe region)
and 4,800 skiable acres at your service, you will find plenty
of terrain to choose from, regardless of your skill level.
Tends to be overcroweded on weekends.
Casinos and glitzy nightlife available on the Nevada side.
Winter is the off-season for gamblers; usually there are
special rates for skiers (much lower than Colorado or Utah).
