Heavenly Mountain Resort

The Perfect Blend of Night and Day

With more recreation and entertainment options than any other Nevada or California ski resorts, you'll have plenty of choices at Heavenly. One of the largest ski resorts in the U.S., Heavenly boasts 4,800 acres of skiable terrain and a 3,500-foot vertical drop. Jaw-dropping views of America’s largest alpine lake or the beauty of the high Nevada desert? Will it be 34 miles of wide-open, groomed cruisers? Or the most outrageous tree skiing in North America? When night falls, world-class Lake Tahoe skiing yields to après ecstasy with Vegas-style casinos, all-night dance clubs, world-class entertainment and five-star dining. So will it be Mother Nature? Lady Luck? A little of both? Choose wisely. Heavenly Mountain Resort is waiting.

Straddling the border of California and Nevada, Heavenly boasts Tahoe’s highest resort peak, a formidable 360 inches of snowfall a year and a vertical rise unmatched on the West Coast. Add 34 miles of wide-open, groomed cruisers, double-black canyons with 1,600-foot plunges, four terrain parks and acres upon acres of powder-filled glades. This is what other mountains want to be when they grow up. This is Heavenly.

New at Heavenly

The countdown is on, and from intense competitions and events to the return of the halfpipe, there is a lot to get excited about this season at Heavenly Mountain Resort.

Unbuckle Returns
Lake Tahoe's highest elevation après ski party featuring music, half-off drinks, dancing and the lovely Heavenly Angels is back and bigger than ever.

New additions at Gunbarrel Grill

Also bringing the fun, Heavenly has re-imagined the menu and experience at Gunbarrel Grill inside Lakeview Lodge and has created the ultimate on-mountain guy’s hangout. Flat screen televisions will dot the landscape while friendly waitresses provide table service featuring made-to-order gourmet burgers and a ridiculously huge selection of well-priced microbrews.

The Halfpipe Returns
The parties aren’t the only place Heavenly is raising its game. The Terrain Park Crew will work with Snow Park Technologies this season to bring the halfpipe back after a four-year hiatus.

U.S. Freestyle Championships
From being out front to a blast from the past, the free-wheeling days of 70s Hot Dogging returns to the famous moguls of Gunbarrel this season. From March 29-31, 2013, the resort will host the U.S. Freestyle Championships, building on Heavenly’s long-standing tradition of freestyle skiing and competition.
