Captain Phil
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
It seems like just yesterday that Phil was making fun of Tahoe Ted for riding a “rice rocket” and not a Harley.
Phil was a good friend of the 968 Park Hotel. When he would come up he’d always be excited to get “his” room which we unofficially call the “Captain Phil Suite.” That was actually Phil’s idea.
We’ll miss the drinks, the gambling and late nights but will cherish the memories. We especially want to wish Phil’s family and friends our absolute best. We hang our heads as we raise our glasses.

Dumping
Friday, November 20th, 2009
The weather said something about 2-4 inches. Well been there, done that already; and that’s a lake level. I’m still trying to figure out how Heavenly got it to dump for their opening day. I know they have the west coast’s largest snowmaking system but really?
It is supposed to stop snowing around 2AM so the roads should be ready for you when you wake up. Visit http://www.968parkhotel.com/contact.php and click on the “Current Road Conditions” link and you will see a live map of road controls. All the roads are still open.
So come on up and get your carve on at Heavenly then walk over to the hotel and get 50% off a room night.

Heavenly to open the 20th.
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
Heavenly is going to be open November 20th. Well that the official rumor. They won’t open on a thin strip of snow. It needs to be treeline to treeline, mid-winter like conditions. That’s a good thing, you can leave the rock skis at home and expect great skiing and riding. As Heavenly has the West Coast’s largest snowmaking system you can be sure the best early conditions will be here. For those of you how don’t already know, the Heavenly Gondola is closer to our hotel than most of Heavenly’s parking is to their own lifts.
We are still 50% off. So ski and stay for less, 50% less. See ya sooner than later…

Fall Fun in Tahoe with SoarNV Glider Ride.
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
A glider ride is an amazing way to see Tahoe. It starts with SoaringNV in Minden, NV, located about 25 minutes from 968 Park Hotel. Climb into the glider and feel the rush of taking off toward the Sierra Nevada Mountains as you are pulled bu the tow plane. The pilot will point out Genoa, Nevada’s first town. Heavenly Ski Resort and Carson City. Highlights of gold aspen accent the valley’s all over the mountains. You will crest the mountains and there is big blue Lake Tahoe! I’ve seen Lake Tahoe from the water, the beach, the mountains, the ski resorts and although they are all amazing, but nothing beats the view from the glider.
I could see every trail at Heavenly and was picking out my ski lines for this winter! We could see 968 Park Hotel, Emerald Bay, Falling leaf Lake, Mt. Tallac and the Caribbean like blue colors of the lake.
We were released from the tow plane and floated over the mountains for another 20 minutes. On our way back we asked for the “eRide”… The glider pilot drove us down hard and it felt like we were weightless. Then a hard up turn. You could feel the G-Force pulling you down into your seat. Then the finally earth, sky, earth… yup a full back flip. Let em tell you, after that any amusement park ride is going to just seem silly.
Unfortunately it was time to land. We landed smoother than any commercial jet I’ve ever been on. Of course lots of pictures and believe it or not, my lunch stayed put the whole time!
I’m convinced that when you come to Tahoe, you should go on a glider ride first. It helps you get oriented, appreciate the enormity of the lake and it can be a relaxing or exhilarating, you get to decide. Plus it cost about the same as a day of skiing for two and way less then a night of gambling…
Visit www.soaringNV.com and use promo code “968Park” and you will get $20 off of your flight.
