Tahoe Escapade

Here's some useful information for a planning a ski weekend near Kingsbury Grade above Lake Tahoe.

Before you go, be sure to take a look at the snow conditions and weather forecast for Heavenly and check for any road closures or travel restrictions. If you're planning to ski, pick up a $66 discount pass at Savemart or Lucky stores (save $15). REI members can get the same deal.

Hardcore weekenders can get oriented by reading up on the local culture, cheking out attractions at the map below and drooling over Heavenly's bodacious trail map (I did).
