Heavenly summary

Few ski resorts match Heavenly's scenic beauty and expansive network of lifts, terrain, trails, and snow-making. Located on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly is the region's largest mountain resort, featuring the highest elevation and longest vertical drop. There is an 8 passenger gondola. This lift will whisk you from downtown state line directly to the top of the mountain, near the California-Nevada border. A new village on the south shore's main highway (beneath the towering mountain) is taking form and now includes two new Marriott Hotel/clubs, a cinema complex and the welcoming, gondola plaza. The views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra mountain range are magnificent. The snowfall tops 20 feet virtually every year and you can slide over 4,800 skiable acres. This resort spans two state lines (California and Nevada). There have been millions of dollars invested in mountain improvements over several years. Heavenly is owned by Vail Resorts, Inc.

Resorts close to Heavenly include: Sierra at Tahoe (23 km), Homewood Mountain Resort (27 km), Kirkwood (31 km), Granlibakken (32 km), Alpine Meadows (38 km),

Visitor Reviews of Heavenly

While it's one of the largest resorts you can find, i don't like it too much, it's way pricey, and way crowded and not very friendly.
It's not a bad place, but you could save the money and get much better experience at alpine meadows or even better Kirkwood.
On the other end you can sometime save a bit by sleeping at a casino at staeline (well if you aren't a gambler anyway :-)
