Located right above the Heavenly Village in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, this expansive ski resort is hard to miss when recreating on Big Blue's southern shores. There are three main access points to get on Heavenly's slopes—one off Ski Run Boulevard on the California side, Boulder Lodge on the Nevada side, and the gondola right in the middle in the Heavenly Village next to many South Lake's casinos.
Heavenly has Tahoe's highest peak elevation of 10, feet and more than half of its slopes facing towards Lake Tahoe's North Shore, offering terrain for everyone in various types- whether it's easy and wide groomed runs for intermediate skiers to deep snow found in Killebrew Canyon accessible from the top of the mountain. Soda Springs is Boreal's smaller counterpart, located a few miles away from it on I; the same turnoff you take to get to Sugar Bowl.
Although it's a small resort with moderate slopes catering to beginners, Soda Springs is tucked into the trees near Donner Pass and tends to keep light, fluffy snow for longer due to its 75 percent northern-facing terrain. In good snow years, Soda Springs can get up to 90 inches of snow during one-third of its season but in bad snow years unfortunately little, if any, ski runs will be open by Christmas.

However, since there's only one way in and one way out it's best to get there between 6am-7am on a powder day after they clear the road to avoid sitting in traffic.

While everybody is trying to pillage Alpine and Squaw, some canny riders lap up ride after ride of powder just down the road at Northstar.
Half of Northstar's slopes face north, protecting snow and keeping it nice and frosty. Northstar sees Diamond Peak, like many resorts that fly below the radar of the big destination mountains, can be a sneaky play on a powder day. The ski resort averages " of snow per winter.
