Heavenly Ski Resort: A Must-Visit for Stunning Lake Views

Located in the southeast of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Ski Resort is definitely worth a visit! Just taking the Gondola up the mountain is worth the ticket price, offering breathtaking lake views that need no filter. Most trails with lake views are blue runs or higher, and many seemingly gentle areas are actually very narrow, making it difficult for snowboard beginners to control their speed. There is a viewing platform midway on the Gondola, where beginners who are not confident on blue runs can get off and enjoy the lake view. Arriving before 8:00 AM at the base area in Heavenly Village or California Lodge will ensure ample parking. Photos were taken at Ridge Run, which requires taking the Sky Express to the top and sliding down the ridge on the California side. It is considered a relatively easy blue run. From the California Lodge side, you can also take the Air Tram up the mountain, and the roundabout blue run allows you to circle the mountain, offering lake views along the zigzag path. However, it is relatively flat and very narrow, and many snowboarders (including myself) need to unstrap and walk some sections, which tests edge control skills. The last part, Worldcup, is very steep, with double black runs on the side, so beginners should be mentally prepared. #Snowboarding #LakeTahoe #Tahoe #Heavenly
