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…

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…
