Great photo! This was taken in 1953, when Ski Run Boulevard was the ski run for Bijou Park Ski Way -- two years before Heavenly bought it and moved up the hill.

 

Throughout the year there are a wide range of special events: outdoor concerts, the marathon, bike races, a Shakespeare Festival, antique car and boat shows -- something for everyone. Links to many of those events can be found on our Links page.

Whatever the season, Lake Tahoe has several casinos that happily welcome anyone of legal age. The larger casinos have major entertainers, shows and concerts. Shopping at one of the many stores in town is another year-round activity. A lot of our guests like to kick back in the lodge and take advantage of our free Wi-Fi set up. And don't worry -- if you didn't bring a laptop, we've got one you can use.
