More about Heavenly
The Resort
The skiing and snowboarding at Heavenly offer something for everyone, but it truly shines with its endlessly rolling intermediate groomers and perfectly spaced glades for tree-skiing enthusiasts. Because the mountain is so expansive, guests can chase the sun across two states in a single day, dropping from wide-open bowls into perfectly pitched, tree-lined corduroy.
Beyond the slopes, Heavenly offers a distinct dual-personality. At the base, Heavenly Village provides a charming pedestrian experience with ice skating, fire pits, and boutique shopping, while just steps across the state line, Nevada's high-rise casinos offer 24-hour entertainment, world-class dining, and spectacular après-ski energy.
On the Mountain
Heavenly features huge expanses of impeccably groomed cruisers with awe-inspiring lake views, alongside world-class tree skiing in its famed pine glades. Advanced skiers will find serious challenges in the steep, double-black chutes of Mott and Killebrew Canyons.
Sierra Nevada / Lake Tahoe
The Lake Tahoe region straddles California and Nevada, renowned for massive winter storms, deep snowpacks, and the stunning backdrop of the largest alpine lake in North America.
