Lake Tahoe is the most beautiful place i have ever seen. been to Heavenly Valley a couple times. first time there we knew it was going to be an awesome view from the top when we went through the clouds half way up. we took the 2 lifts straight to the top w/o looking back, got off the lift, got set to go, gave the word to look, and we stood there for 30 minutes mouths open. all anyone could say is "whooooa!" and "woooooow!" i recommend this trip for everyone to put on their "before i die" list.
