Other Lake Tahoe awards include top rankings from Orbitz.com as the No. 1 ski destination in 2007, Top Ten for Ski Towns by SKI and Skiing Magazine, (Oct. 08)and Transworld Snowboarding for diverse categories such as snow quality, scenery, off-hill activities, and terrain parks for Heavenly Mountain Resort, Kirkwood Mountain Resort and Sierra-at-Tahoe. Living up to the destination’s accolades, South Shore’s Mountain Resorts offer a variety of terrain and some of the deepest snow in the country, along with spectacular lake views.
