Replying to Best place to stay and Ride in Tahoe area?

I'm trying to come out to Tahoe over spring break and want to find out where the best place to ride is. Ultimately, I will ski a lot more all over the mountain than in the park, but having a sick park won't deter me from going anywhere.

Also, where should I try and stay to ride at the most places? It sounds like its a pain getting around out there. Any truth to that?

Right now, I think my top choice would be to ride Heavenly. Is this a cool place or not? From pictures the park looks pretty sick. Where has good steep stuff and wont be super crwoded over the 2nd week in March?

Thanks.
