Experience the Best Lake Views at Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe

Take advantage of the last weekend in February to visit Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe. Known for offering the most beautiful lake views, Heavenly is the third-largest ski resort in the area, featuring 27 lifts and 112 trails. My last visit to Heavenly was a few years ago when I had a season pass. Since then, I've mainly visited Squaw Valley (now renamed Palisades Tahoe) and other resorts like Sugar Bowl, Mt. Rose, and Homewood. This season, I purchased a four-day Epic Day Pass, which is perfect for revisiting these resorts. Heavenly Ski Resort has four access points for taking the lift up the mountain: Stagecoach Lodge and Boulder Lodge in Nevada, California Lodge, and Heavenly Village in California. We arrived at the parking lot around 8:50 am, and it was already 80% full. Arriving any later might mean parking outside. We chose to head to California Lodge and took the Aerial Tramway lift up the mountain. After reaching the top, we skied down Patsy's to take the Powderbowl Express to Sky Express. We spent the morning taking Sky Express and Canyon Express four or five times. For lunch, we planned to go to Tamarack Lodge. After reaching the top of Sky Express, we followed the super flat Skyline Trail. Snowboarders often had to remove their boards to walk due to the gentle slopes and occasional uphill sections, which were quite exhausting. Finally, after a bit of downhill skiing, we reached the Nevada Side at Dipper Express and Comet Express. From there, we took Dipper Express and then California Trail to Tamarack Lodge. However, by the time we arrived, it was already past 2 pm, so we decided to skip lunch and just bought some beer and candy for a quick break. In the afternoon, we took Tamarack Express back to the California Side to continue skiing.
