Lake Tahoe ski resorts gearing up for a memorable winter
With the resorts opening soon, it is due to be a white winter in South Lake Tahoe.
Kick starting the snow season for 2022, South Lake Tahoe is prepping new additions, openings and the 50th anniversary celebrations.
Check out what’s new this winter.
Heavenly Mountain Resort
Heavenly Mountain Resort is increasing uphill capacity at its North Bowl lift by 40%. The Vail Resorts operated mountain will replace its three-person lift with a new high-speed, four-person chair. By auctioning off the three-person chairs, Heavenly raised $162,000 (£140,000) for nonprofits the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, Ski Run Community Park, and the EpicPromise Foundation.
The North Bowl upgrade will reduce rider time on the Boulder lift.
Kirkwood Ski resorts Celebrates 50th Birthday
Opening on 2 December, Kirkwood Mountain Resort will celebrate its 50th anniversary of operations this season. They will be hosting an Apres kick-off party and premiering the new short film “50 Years Deep: The Story of Kirkwood”.
Tahoe Events Center exterior work on schedule
The Tahoe Events Center is in the final stages of being closed in for the fall and winter months, paving the way for interior work to continue in anticipation of the July 2023 opening. The undergrounding of existing overhead utility lines, and construction of new curbs and sidewalks around the perimeter are being finished this month.
The Desolation Hotel
The latest addition to the destination, the Desolation Hotel welcomed its first guests this summer. The hotel is all about nature, sustainability, and luxury. The name refers to the Desolation Wilderness to the east. Maggie’s, the third-floor restaurant, is named for Maggie’s Peak, actually two peaks within the Desolation Wilderness. The all-new, 21-unit hotel stands on the site of the former Tahoe Villa. Ten of the units are three-story townhouses with a private garage, EV charging, and Japanese-style soaking tub on the third-floor balcony.
