Heavenly
is an awesome mountain that often get a bad reputation as flat or tame.
There are some flat sections to deal with when going from one part of
the mountain to another but you get used to them, and the mountain is
huge. And when you factor in the oft skied sidecountry it turns into
one of the biggest and best areas in the country. It really shines in
big snow years when there is plenty of snow down to lake level and even
down to 4,000' when the skiing is good to the Carson Valley. It has
fantastic wide groomers and some of the best glades in the country.
It's a part of the Vail empire so the same pass also gets you access to
Kirkwood and Northstar. One of the great things about Heavenly is that
it has so many aspects. On storm days when other mountains close,
Heavenly often has something open. And of course there's the Heavenly
views.
