Room rates for lodging in Tahoe run the gambit from ultra budget to ultra posh. Don't forget to book early if you are coming to Lake Tahoe on a

You can bring your own ski or snowboard gear and have it tuned and adjusted at any of the great ski and board shops in the Tahoe area. But you might want to avoid the hassle and growing expense of traveling with skis and snowboards by renting high quality gear from a shop near your hotel or right at the slopes. Test out the latest snowboards on the market, some new all mountain skis, a shorter snowboard, or those powder skis you've always dreamed of.
Parent's Night Out
Even on a family vacation parents need and enjoy a night out on the town to them selves. Once the kids are asleep, slip on a nice apres ski ensamble and head down to the Tahoe Casinos for a concert, casino show, drinks with the Heavenly Angels, or some good old fashioned Las Vegas style gaming any of the Tahoe Casinos. Since Heavenly is not just a ski resort but an all-inclusive
mountain resort you are sure to find something exciting for a night out.
Ski Lessons for Kids and Adults
The best way to enjoy a week of skiing and snowboarding is to kick it off with a group or private lesson with one of Heavenly's professional and certified ski and snowboard instructors. Kids love the group interaction, structured drills and games and can learn a lot in just a few classes. If it's been a few seasons, a lesson can be a great way for adults to get their old legs under them. Private ski or snowboard lessons also kick start your season with a concentrated yet comprehensive one-on-one session that can get you skiing or snowboarding at the top of your game.
If the kids have had enough after their morning ski lesson, they can spend the afternoon in the Heavenly Day Care while you rip the steeps in Mott Canyon.
