About the Resort:

This is one of the most popular resorts in Lake Tahoe and all of California. The resort just spent half a billion dollars in renovations and if you have never been here before, or you went a few years ago, this is definitely the time to come see it. The views are simply astounding and the runs are some of the best in the United States. There is a reason that so many people return here year after year, and chances are, after one trip, you'll feel the same way. We will definitely be going back to Heavenly soon.

What You Need to Know:

The sprawling resort stretches out over nearly 5000 acres, and there is more than enough room to have fun. They have the longest vertical drop in California, at more than 3500 feet, and the mountain is Lake Tahoe's highest. There are 95 trails, and 30 different lifts. If you're in a hurry, check out their high speed lifts that really get the job done. You won't have to wait long, even on busy days, and the management keeps everything moving very smoothly.

Heavenly Mountain opens up in Mid-November and you can ski through Mid-April. They definitely have some great trails here and the management does a stellar job of keeping everything well groomed. Even though there is usually plenty of snow, the resort does make their own to supplement it, particularly in bad seasons.

Tips for Beginners:

Definitely avoid Mott Canyons and Killebrew - these are two killer trails that are only suited for pros. Approximately 20% of the 95 trails are suitable for beginners and the lessons here are some of the best in the state. There is plenty of opportunity to learn how to snowboard or ski, and we found the lesson rates to be very reasonable.

The trainers are very patient and there are also special rates for beginners that should definitely be taken advantage of. Even though only a small part of their trails are devoted to beginners, they do go all out to make you feel at home.
