At Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., winter warriors are teeing off on a snow-covered course just weeks after the ski season ended. No, it’s not a skier fantasy: It’s snow golf. Heavenly began offering snow golf — nine holes played on a par-3 course — last winter as a way to extend the resort season. Players use orange golf balls that are easier to spot in the snow and special tees that keep the ball elevated. The experience is like nothing else, said Heavenly’s director of golf, Chris Raynor. “It’s definitely a different game,” Raynor said. “But it’s a lot of fun, and it’s a great way to enjoy the mountain in the summertime.”
