Heavenly Ski Resort is... More Like Disneyland...

Today was a beautiful day with sunshine and no clouds, so Ryan decided to take one of his work vouchers (free pass onto the mountain) and take me sight-seeing. We got onto the Gondola, where it picks you up right off the street and takes you to a completley different world. It reminded me so much of Disneyland it was ridiculous. You first wait in line to get a ticket, while they have 3 televisions telling you about the resort. Once you purchase your ticket, they have you get jump into the Gondola, which is constantly rotating... The doors close and the ride begins. Its about a 20 minute ride to the top and you can see EVERYTHING. You can see the entire lake (North Shore, East Shore, West Shore) and even Carson City. Since it was so nice today the lake looked like glass. It was stunning. We got off half way to do some sight seeing at a deck they have built. Heavenly is the Disneyland of snow. They charge $13 for a cheeseburger, and $85 to go riding. Pretty insane. However the Gondola ride is something else. Hopefully, when I find my camera charger, I can go up again and post some awesome pics. It's official, I live in a postcard!
