Lake Tahoe, Florida, Mexico. They all have sun, beaches and entertainment. But only a spring break in Tahoe allows revelers to snow ski and ride in the morning, lounge poolside or on the beach in the afternoon, gamble at night and party until the break of day at a nightclub. Short-sleeves are the usual order of the day � even on the slopes and don�t be surprised if you see a few bikinis. Average highs in April on the South Shore are in the mid-50s, though evenings are a bit brisk with the average temp being 26 degrees. But you never know when a record will hit; the mercury soared to 76 degrees in April 1981 and down to 1 degree in 1975. Not only does the weather offer a bit of everything, so does the area. The three South Shore ski resorts always have fabulous spring skiing in April; with last April bringing some of the best powder of the season. Knowing that schools throughout the country have spring breaks at different times, the resorts have festivities scheduled for most of April. At Heavenly Mountain Resort (www.skiheavenly.com): � April 8: The Dummy Gelande tests the speed and gravity of flying dummies. Entries must of the stuffed variety. � April 10 and April 17: Test your ability to slide across a slushy pond without getting wet. � April 10: Join Ski-E-O Glen Plake for a ski marathon down Gunbarrel. This is for the average skier. Complete 25 or more laps down the moguls in the designated time and Plake will reward you for your efforts. � April 11: An Easter Egg Hunt for the entire family, with prize-packed eggs hidden at Adventure Peak. There will also be snowshoe races and a tubing derby. � April 12: Bartender Cup is for those who make your favorite libations to pour the best drink after carrying them through an obstacle course in ski boots. � April 19-23 and April 26-30: Snow and sand meet for the Lake Heavenly Beach Party.
