Big air. Deep powder. Legendary steeps. Natural highs. Lake Tahoe is a snowsporters dream. It has North America’s largest

concentration of world-class ski resorts, and enough downhill and cross-country variety to show even the heartiest skier or

boarder something new every day. Skiers can hit the slopes on one of the 182 ski trails in the midst of more than 8,800 total

ski resort acres. The longest ski run in the area is 5.5 miles long. Lake Tahoe's greatest vertical drop is 3,600 feet. Both runs

are at Heavenly.



We recommend a rental car in order to get around.



Heavenly (Reno, Nevada - 45 minutes San Francisco, CA - 4 hours): Heavenly is a big mountain, sprawling over 4,800

acres, two states (California and Nevada) and nine mountain peaks! Heavenly offers snowboarding on 100% of the

mountain .Most seasons, the resort will offer three snowboard parks, and a super pipe later in the season. Several terrain

features are also constructed regularly on the mountain, including spines, rolls, flat-tops, and the country's first triple-level

fun box. The ski area is close to the village of South Lake Tahoe, at the border of California and Nevada. With the casinos

and nightlife offered on the Nevada side you can combine greeat skiing with great nightlife and after-hour fun. The slopes of

Heavenly offer a breathtaking view of Lake Tahoe. Experienced skiiers will find their trill in the "Milky Way Bowl" and

"Killbrew Canyon).
