On Friday the 13th my friend, Arlo, and I went to Heavenly Resorts at Tahoe to snow board for the day. We really packed in the day because we woke up early, made the 4-hour drive from the Bay Area to Tahoe, stayed all day, then drove 4 hours back home. Luckily Arlo's parents were nice enough to offer to drive for us.
The ski slopes at Heavenly were ok. Overall I felt that they weren't groomed as well as the runs at Northstar. Also, the people there always seemed to be cutting me off or running into each other. Add the fact that I was getting used to the board I just bought for myself (it is too large for me thanks to the recommendation of the salespeople at Tricity (no wonder they are going out of business)), and I was pretty disappointed with the snowboarding for the day. The only thing that impressed me at Heavenly was their terrain park. But I am not at that level yet so I probably won't go back to that resort for awhile.
Things were looking pretty bleak for the day when Arlo's parents picked us up later that afternoon. I was cold and my body was feeling pretty sore from falling all day so I really wanted to go home. However, since we were in the area Arlo's father wanted to spend some money at Harrah's Casino. Luckily, his favorite game, Craps, is also my game of choice. Somehow we ended up at a lucky table and walked away big winners an hour later.
