Each time we’re at Heavenly, SVV resigns himself to taking off his board and walking the very lengthy trail. The trails connecting the Nevada and California sides of the mountain are long, flat catwalks, which are difficult enough for skiers to traverse but even more impossible for boarders. This means it’s also extremely difficult to get from one end of the resort to the other. Heavenly is the biggest resort in all of Tahoe, straddling two states.
Do you splurge, break out your designer snow duds and head to Squaw? Or stick to the economical route and go to Mount Rose? Meet somewhere in the middle and plan a day at Sugar Bowl? Given that we logged more days at Heavenly and Northstar this year than anywhere else (with visits to Kirkwood and Sierra on the side), I thought I’d break each resort down, blow by blow.
