What's new for the 2008/2009 season at South Lake Tahoe Resort in California
Thanks to a new detachable-quad chairlift, the Olympic Express, access to one of the best tree skiing trails, the Nevada woods. The Olympic Express also enables easier access to the Dipper Express, Comet Express and East Peak Lodge. The lift is over a mile long, and improves upon the older lift's ride time of eleven minutes to just three and a half minutes.

In addition, there are three new trails open, two intermediate and one advance course. Cloud nine is a course that is perfect for cruising about with some comfort room. The two remaining have had their trees reduced. The Pines is an intermediate trail that highlights the western white pines. Bohemian Groves is an advance trail that is un groomed and offers the feeling of skiing amongst the trees. Nevada woods are an expert trail that provided the full tree skiing that the area is famous for. These four runs gives the Resort a total of 95 ski runs. There is also a new attraction to the resort, the heavenly flyer. This is a zip line that is over an entire mile long. The heavenly flyer has a drop of over 500 feet so be prepared for the ride of your life.
