f you are a winter sports enthusiast you will no doubt be enjoying some skiing or snowboarding at one of the area’s many fantastic resorts. Heavenly Ski Resort is on the South Shore and is a well rounded resort and one of North America’s largest mountains. The 3500 foot vertical drop is unmatched anywhere on the west coast. Heavenly is famous for its gondola, located half a block west of Stateline, and putting the serenity of the mountain just steps away from the major casinos and nearly 5,000 hotel rooms. The eight passenger enclosed compartments take you 2.4 miles up the mountain in 12 minutes while you marvel at the staggering views of the lake. Once you arrive at the 14,000 square foot observation platform, you will be treated to views of Carson Valley, Desolation Wilderness, and shore to shore views of Lake Tahoe. Regardless of whether or not you are continuing to Adventure Peak at the top of the mountain to enjoy winter activities such as skiing and snowmobiling, a trip on the Heavenly Gondola is something that everybody should do while in Lake Tahoe, the views will be unmatched.

Posted in Travel and Leisure by admin on June 3, 2008

An all inclusive resort is more than just the hotel, the beachfront, or the cost themselves. It’s about getting the best bang for your buck. With the proper package you should be getting some combination of the following, which all depends on what kind of vacation you plan to go on., airport transfers, gourmet dining, butler service in some, a basic wedding package (if your just married), hurricane guarantee, water sports, hotel tips, tax, and gratuities taken care of, and golf. These are just some of the things an all inclusive resort should be getting you.
