The Lodge at South Lake Tahoe & Heavenly Ski Resort

Written by Graham a Skier from The Basink, Victoria, Australia.
6/1/2010

The Lodge is conveniently located with a shuttle bus stop right outside the door. Cross the road to go to California Lodge or just step outside the door to go to the Gondola. Amenities include a spa and free internet access (fast and reliable - fast enough to use skype to call home!). A full kitchen and an easy walk to the supermarket make this an ideal place to stay when skiing Heavenly. Heavenly has long runs and a sufficient variety to suit skiers from novice to advanced. Yes, double blacks to challenge the adventurous and long intermediates to cruise for warmups and for the end of the day when the legs are starting to turn to jelly. It also has one of the cheapest season passes. You only need to ski 6 days to be ahead of daily lift prices. We stayed for two weeks, skied every day and experience waist deep powder snow in the second week.

South Shore isn't some sleepy ski town. There's an "Open 24 Hours" sign drawing visitors to winter's hottest nightlife like moths to a flame. From 'round-the-clock poker tournaments to all-night dance clubs and the only stateside Cabo Wabo, the choices are endless.

With access to mid-mountain from mid-town via the high-speed gondola, skiing and riding the region's largest resort has never been easier.
