Looking forward to skiing… holidays
Dear Owners,
This week our mountains got a nice coat of snow from a passing storm, just enough to whiten up the profile of the mountains and remind us that MOUNTAIN SPORTING ISN’T FAR AWAY. Area ski resorts have been filling in with their own snow making efforts and the work is paying off! Heavenly’s website this morning shows the countdown to snow which, as of this post, reads ”4 days, 16 hours, 17 minutes, 48 seconds”… 47 seconds… 46 seconds… you get the idea.
Our phones are already active with owners eager for their winter vacations, so here’s a list of links to AREA SKI RESORTS to help you with your planning: www.skiheavenly.com, www.kirkwood.com, www.sierraattahoe.com, www.northstarattahoe.com, and www.squaw.com.
For you owners who are NON-SKIERS, there’s more to see and do at the resorts than just ski or ride. Hold on while going downhill in a giant doughnut at Sierra-at-Tahoe’s Tubing Hill, or see a Lake Tahoe winter from a completely different height on Heavenly’s Gondola, or view Kirkwood’s beautiful meadows by dog-sled… the opportunities for winter fun while staying at your home-away-from-home are practically endless.
THANKSGIVING WEEKEND is the traditional beginning of events at the ski resorts, but there’s more to do around Thanksgiving at the Lake. On the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving Christ Botti and Boney James are performing just a lovely lakeshore drive away from us at the Holiday Jazz Fest in Incline Village’s Hyatt Regency.
The FIRST WEEKEND OF DECEMBER brings with it the South Shore’s first Festival of Trees and Lights sponsored by the Barton Foundation and held at MontBleu with 3 days of stage performances and holiday events including Polar Express rides through town, Teddy Bear Breakfasts, a Dessert Buffet and a Concert with the Bay Area’s noted party band, the Cheeseballs. You can learn more about the specifics of this event debut at www.festivaloftreeslaketahoe.com.
ARRANGING A STAY with us is easy; if you’ve already used your Member Week, call us at 530.544.5211 about Bonus Time availability. Right now it looks like we’ll have Bonus Time available through December 18th so give us a call… we’d love to share the Spirit of the Holidays with you.
Happy Travels,
Kathleen
