I would check out just about any other resort than Heavenly. Anyway, for south shore, Kirkwood is a must. By far the best resort on that side. Sierra is pretty decent too. Mt Rose is supposed to be fun and has a good following. Probably the best snow in the region due to their altitude. I've never been to that one but I am sure it's fine.
Squaw is worth the drive from South Shore. It's insane what they have open. Make sure you go mid week, as stuff like the Palisades are not open on weekends ever. Too many jongs would get killed if it was...
