HEAVENLY MOUNTAIN RESORT
LAKE TAHOE, CALIF. skiheavenly.com
If you can brave Lake Tahoe’s vertical drops on your skis, then you’ll have no trouble mustering the courage to experience a 65-foot drop on a snow tube. Tubing on Heavenly’s Adventure Peak, which sits at an elevation of 9,100 feet, offers four lanes, each 500 feet long. The fun usually starts in mid-December and continues through the end of the ski season in mid-April.
