Heavenly is the best place ever. Last vacation i was begging my friend to go to Colorado. She just wouldn't hear of it and she kept saying South Lake Tahoe! And i was like NO. But we went and it was wonderful. I was in awe of how gorgeous things were and i still keep my pictures of the trip on my desktop, year round. It's GORGEOUS!
- Pros: Crowded, Breathtaking, Nice People
- Cons: , Breathtaking, no mean people

Save Time:
Reaching the top of the California side of the mountain can take an hour on weekends. For quicker access, head for one of the Nevada bases (Stagecoach or Boulder).
Parking:
Take the free shuttle from your hotel to avoid the parking crunch; Heavenly's shuttle system to and from area lodging is the most extensive in Tahoe.
The Extras:
The entire South Tahoe area is your oyster here. All the big casinos, restaurants and hotels are close at hand.
Know Before You Go:
The ski season varies, but generally runs from mid-November through mid-April. During summer months, take a scenic gondola ride, golf, hike or enjoy a bike ride.
