<p>We arrived at Heavenly, California Lodge, between 10 and 11am. We bought lift tickets, $81 each, and rented a locker for our lunches and things. </p><p>We headed off to the lifts. The lines were so long for most of the lifts. We took about 3 Express lifts to get to the top and started to make our way down some slopes. We took Skyline Trail and saw some amazing views of the lake and the valley on the other side. We then hit the Big Dipper, which was a little steep in the beginning and found Galaxy run. Once we got to Galaxy, there weren't a ton of people and the grade was perfect for all of us. Once we got to the bottom of Galaxy, the lift to go back up had no line! The lift is pretty long to go back up, but it took us right to the Galaxy run again. We did that one a few times since we all liked it and it wasn't crowded.</p><p>After a few runs, we decided to take a break and agreed to head to East Peak Lodge after riding the Galaxy lift back up. We decided trying to go all the way back to where we started would take too long. Somehow one of our friends got separated and ended up at Stagecoach Lodge. We all ate lunch and decided on a meeting place to get back together.</p><p>We took a few lifts and met up with our friend at the Top of the Gondola. We made a few more runs before deciding to call it a day. We were all exhausted from skiing all day yesterday as well.</p><p>We decided to take the Round-a-bout down. It was a pretty narrow trail and was really crowded. We all went down at our own speeds, but had a hard time with all the people stopping in the middle of the trail. The narrow trail also made it harder to control our speed.</p><p>It was a great day of skiing, but exhausting.</p>
