  • a hire car

    Hire a 4x4 otherwise you have often have to faff with snow chains on the drive up there.

    I used to go skiing at Heavenly all the time when I lived in SF, but that was 15+ years ago. CA side was relatively boring (no smoking, drinking and skiing frowned upon, etc) whilst the NV side was a free-for-all.

  • So no convertible mustangs then?

    Ok, cheers. Do you think Heavenly is the best resort in the Lake Tahoe area? Most of the others look pretty small and the only other option I’ve come up with is Mammoth but the drive from SF is almost twice as long.

    I’ve looked on street view at some airBnB’s and there really doesn’t seem to be much going on in Heavenly at all. Need to decide if we are going to stay somewhere with no nightlife but close to the slopes or down near the NV side and then have to get a shuttle or something every day to the lifts

  • We used to go for long weekends (leave SF Friday evening, aim to go home Sunday evening).

    Used to drive towards Reno at the end of the day and stay in a cheap motel and use casinos for evening entertainment. Wouldn't want to do that for a week though!

    Only really went to Heavenly, did go to one or two others I think but nothing sticks in my memory (and it was a long time ago).
