About Heavenly
Overlooking the sapphire blue waters of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly is one of the most unique ski resorts on the planet. Spanning across two state lines—California and Nevada—the resort offers magnificent views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Mountain Ranges. As California’s largest ski resort with 4,800 acres of terrain, Heavenly is known for its gentle gladed runs, making it ideal for those progressing to blue or black runs.
The Tahoe Epic Pass not only grants access to Heavenly but also to Kirkwood, another renowned resort. A day trip to Kirkwood is highly recommended, especially for those seeking challenging terrain and steep chutes. With its varied landscapes and breathtaking scenery, the Lake Tahoe region provides an unparalleled skiing experience.
