Heavenly… that one word can imply and in this case describe very accurately what a ski vacation means to so many of us especially in these trying times. Whether you are considering Heavenly for a group vacation or perhaps a corporate ski trip, a family get together, college excursion, or a wedding this resort has what you are looking for.

A resort is exactly what Heavenly is and not a ski area, the difference being service and facility. Ski areas typically consists of exactly that, an area to ski. Resorts on the other hand can provide the whole luxury experience complete with great food, five star lodging, maintained ski runs and very accessible medical service. So whether you’re an expert skier looking to challenge yourself on the un-groomed back country runs, want to try your luck on the world class terrain park, or simple learn to ski with expert teachers you will find what your looking for.

Heavenly Ski resort is located near the beautiful Lake Tahoe in California ’s Sierra Nevada mountains. When your deciding which resort is right for your ski vacation snowfall is always at the top of the list. Although Heavenly gets nearly 274 days of sunshine the average snowfall usually reaches 300-500 inches annually at Alpine altitude! And gets 125 inches at Lake Tahoe level. So expect great snow on all 182 ski trails which encompasses 8,800 ski-able acres for everyone’s experience and comfort level from beginners to the seasoned veterans. There is a world class terrain park for the snowboarders in your group not to mention nearly 3,600 feet of vertical change on the terrain.

If you take a look on your map you would see the Heavenly is conveniently located approximately 200 miles from the coastal city of San Francisco California and only 58 miles from Reno Nevada! This means if you fly into San Francisco or Reno you will have only a short drive before arriving at you winter wonderland vacation. This close proximity to these great American cities also means a lively nightlife. Expect exciting activities, music events, and entertainment. There are 6 world class casinos, gourmet dining and shopping located in the ski village.

The last consideration is of course cost. Due to the resent economy great deals are out there for package trips to Heavenly that include airfare, lift tickets, ski equipment and lodging. If your traveling with a group even more reasonable deals become available. Take a look, your guaranteed to find something for you. Above all remember to have fun and relax!

Imagine a region almost twice the size of England; imagine it as an African savannah, at the height of the summer, and as an infinite water lake, with no signs of human presence and very few signs of vegetable life, most of the year.
Imagine a place with 650 species of birds, 260 species of fish (such as the catfish, weighing up to 260 pounds), an unknown number of species of butterflies, and caimans, anacondas, capybaras (the largest rodent in the world), agoutis (other rodent), tapirs, peccaries, jaguars, pumas, giant anteaters, ocelots, giant otters, armadillos, several species of monkeys, including the capuchins, and dozens of other unusual species of animals.
This world is not fiction. It exists, it shelters the hugest concentration of animal life in America. It is called the Pantanal, and is located in Brazil, 1,000 miles from Sao Paulo.
By its own right, Pantanal ranks very highly in the adventure tourism business. The concentration of animal life – especially big birds: macaws, parrots, toucans, egrets, crakes, eagles, owls, oropendulas? – is unique in the world.
But? you should also understand the nature of Pantanal, and the reason why it is largely unknown?
Pantanal doesn’t have any shopping malls or air conditioning. It’s a place of mud, most of the year. It’s not necessary to face a high discomfort to visit it, but some discomfort is unavoidable.
The Pantanal is a place with too much water and mud, and plenty of mosquitoes (insect repellent – lots of it – is indispensable) where trips may be difficult, and may have to be made on horseback, or special trucks and jeeps, or by boat.
Pantanal is a place for those who love nature and are ready to make some sacrifices to see it at its best. If you are a bird and nature lover, and if you like adventure travel, you will love the Pantanal.
Avoid the rainy season (from December to March). It’s not the ideal period to travel, unless you just want to have only a very partial view of Pantanal. It’s much better to visit the Pantanal in the dry season (July to September).
Eduardo Reisinho publishes Brazil-Travel-Guide.com
( Brazil Travel Guide), a website where you can look for more information about the Pantanal, and other themes and travel information involving Brazil.
