Heavenly Lake Tahoe
South Lake Tahoe
With its season opening on Nov. 18 (weather permitting), Heavenly Lake Tahoe, located on the south side of Lake Tahoe, offers an unmatched winter escape at its ski resort. The snowy destination offers a multitude of amenities that are not typically found at ski destinations, like on-site childcare and nursery for those looking to shred on the slopes without the little ones. The spot also boasts a variety of terrain parks with half pipes, freestyle areas and ramps, and one of the most scenic views of the Sierra Nevada mountains in a gondola ride. After spending the day adventuring on one of the many slopes, be sure to stop by one of the 10 on-site dining spots for a break and a bite to eat. Season passes start at $899 for ages 13-plus and $457 for those ages 5 to 12. To learn more about Heavenly Lake Tahoe, visit skiheavenly.com.
