Well, actually, this is an auction for a timeshare near the base of Heavenly, one of South Lake Tahoe’s top ski resorts. The amenities alone are reason enough to bid on this auction — rooftop tennis, pub, ski shop, bell staff and more.

Lake Tahoe is one of the most pristine, naturally gorgeous places in the States. It boasts year-round activities, including several casinos a half a mile away; just over the border. And you’ll surely find the people to be extremely friendly. The only word of caution I’ll offer is that you check to see if this timeshare is transferable or can be traded for timeshares in other places.
