Ski with a Forest Service ranger tradition begins Friday at Heavenly
Beginning this Friday and continuing through April, the public is invited to spend a day at Lake Tahoe skiing with a U.S. Forest Service ranger at Heavenly Mountain Resort.
Tours begin at the top of the gondola at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. every Monday and Friday through winter. Spanish Ski with a Ranger returns Friday, Feb. 20, with tours offered every Friday at 10:30 a.m. Both programs last about an hour and continue through April 10, 2015, weather permitting.
Participants must be intermediate level skiers/boarders or above and provide their own lift ticket. No reservations are required; attendance is on a first-come first-served basis.
These free conservation education programs are offered to educate the public about the mission and role of the Forest Service in ski area management, to improve public understanding of natural resource processes and issues, and to promote environmental literacy and stewardship.
Programs are led by U.S. Forest Service Conservation Education staff and volunteers, and operate through a cooperative effort between Heavenly Mountain Resort and the City of South Lake Tahoe.
