    Daily Ski Conditions for Heavenly Mountain Resort, California/Nevada

    If you’re planning to hit the slopes at Heavenly Mountain Resort this weekend, here’s the freshest scoop on conditions straight from the Tahoe powder scene. Heavenly is wrapping up its spring season with snow depths currently measuring around 36 inches at the base and about 63 inches up at the summit, giving you a decent carpet of snow to carve through even as temperatures climb toward summer levels. Over the past 24 hours, the resort has seen light new snowfall totaling roughly an inch or so, enough to freshen up the surface without creating any ski closures. In the last 48 hours, snowfall remains modest but steady, maintaining a playful layer that keeps the runs fun and lively.

    Right now, Heavenly has about 10 lifts spinning and roughly 60 trails open to enjoy, giving skiers and snowboarders plenty of variety from cruisers to more challenging terrain. Weatherwise, today’s skies are mostly clear with temperatures around 48°F at the summit and warming up to about 62°F down in the village. The sun is out, and light winds from the southeast are just enough to keep things comfortable without any wind chill to worry about.

    Looking ahead over the next five days, you can expect a warm but variable pattern. Temperatures at the top will hover in the mid-40s to low 50s during the day, dipping mostly into the 30s overnight, perfect for spring skiing that transitions between soft snow and firm morning crusts. The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with occasional light winds shifting between southeast and southwest, so you’ll get good visibility and a great vibe on the mountain. Snowfall chances are minimal, so it’s mostly about enjoying what’s already there — a mix of groomed trails and some soft spring corn snow especially in shaded or off-piste areas.

    Speaking of snow conditions, the piste is currently a blend of base layers holding firm with some pleasant softening mid-day as the sun works its magic. Off-piste enthusiasts will find pockets of softer snow beneath the trees, but be mindful that spring conditions can hide icy patches or exposed terrain. Heavenly’s total seasonal snowfall this year is right around 220 inches, which has been solid for a spring season, and the mountain continues to maintain a respectable snowpack through late May.

    For visitors gearing up, there are no special advisories currently, but with warming daytime temps and melting snow, stick to established trails, keep an eye on weather changes, and start your runs earlier before the snow softens too much. Also, don’t forget your sunscreen — that Tahoe sun can be fierce at altitude! All in all, Heavenly is dialing in a sweet spring skiing experience with enough snow and open terrain to keep your turns smooth and spirits high.

    So pack your gear, savor the stunning lake views, and enjoy what’s likely to be some of the last great ski days before summer arrives at Heavenly Mountain Resort. Whether you’re chasing fresh tracks or just enjoying the alpine vibe, the mountain’s ready for one more season of shredding fun.

  • Heavenly Mountain Resort: Skiing Suspended, Summer Fun Awaits

    Heavenly Mountain Resort: Skiing Suspended, Summer Fun Awaits
    May 28 2025
    Ski Report for Heavenly Mountain Resort, California/Nevada

    Daily Ski Conditions for Heavenly Mountain Resort, California/Nevada

    Dreaming of carving turns at Heavenly Mountain Resort? Here’s the inside scoop—local style—on what’s happening high above the shores of Lake Tahoe. As of late May, the winter season is officially a wrap, and everything is on sale for next year’s Epic Pass. The resort is currently closed for skiing and snowboarding, so you won’t find any open lifts or trails—just stunning alpine views and plenty of summer adventure ideas percolating[1][5]. But, since you’re here for the snow stoke, let’s dive into what the last bits of the season looked like and what you can expect when Heavenly reopens in November.

    Before closing, Heavenly was enjoying its spring finale with a mix of late-season powder days and sunshine-fueled laps. The base was impressive for late spring, but patches of icy terrain crept in as temperatures fluctuated between mild days and chilly, star-filled nights[2]. This season, snow depth fluctuated with each storm, but in recent weeks, no new snowfall was reported, and the resort did not make updated snow depth readings publicly available as the season wound down[3][5]. There was no significant accumulation in the last 24 or 48 hours before closing, and skiers who squeezed out the last runs of the year found mostly firm, variable conditions with some soft pockets where the sun worked its magic.

    Weather-wise, late May and early June bring warm days and crisp mornings to the mountains. Expect highs in the upper 50s to low 60s Fahrenheit, with clear skies and gentle breezes at the summit. The overnight lows dip enough to give the snow a hard freeze, but since the resort is closed, these temps are better for hikers and bikers than for boarders and skiers[3]. Looking ahead, the forecast for the next five days promises classic Tahoe sunshine—bluebird mornings with afternoons warm enough for a hoodie or T-shirt. There’s no snow in sight, which is par for the course as summer gears up.

    Piste and off-piste conditions, at this point, are off the menu. All runs and terrain are closed, so it’s best to keep your edges sharp and your goggles handy for next season—Heavenly will reopen on November 21, 2025[5]. The resort’s avalanche safety reminders still hold weight for those venturing into the backcountry, but if you’re heading off-piste now, you’re more likely to find wildflowers than pow. Always check local safety bulletins and ski with a buddy if you’re exploring, even in the off-season.

    Heavenly posted a solid season total snowfall this year, though exact numbers aren’t listed in current reports. The typical annual accumulation is robust, making it a magnet for skiers and riders who value high Sierra powder. For now, the vibe is all about rest, renewal, and maybe a little envy as Southern Hemisphere resorts kick off their winter fun.

    A special note for visitors: Heavenly is buzzing with summer plans, but if you’re here to ski or ride, you’ll have to wait until late November. In the meantime, check out mountain bike rentals, scenic gondola rides, or a lakeside patio for some well-earned après-ski vibes—no snow required. For those planning next winter’s adventure, Epic Pass deals are already live, so you can lock in your lift access and dream about deep days ahead. The mountain’s only closed until it’s time to do it all again!

  • Tahoe Spring Skiing: Carving Heavenly's Corn Snow and Prepping for Summer Thrills

    Tahoe Spring Skiing: Carving Heavenly's Corn Snow and Prepping for Summer Thrills
    May 3 2025
    Ski Report for Heavenly Mountain Resort, California/Nevada

    Daily Ski Conditions for Heavenly Mountain Resort, California/Nevada

    Here’s the inside scoop for shredding Heavenly like a true local—grab your gear, because the mountain’s vibe shifts faster than a snowboarder’s edge on spring slush. While official winter operations are wrapped up for the season (summer kicks off May 23, so dust off those hiking boots), let’s talk conditions *just* before the melt. Recent temps are classic Tahoe spring: highs around 45°F and lows dipping to 35°F, keeping that remaining snowpack firm overnight but softening to buttery corn by midmorning[1].

    Though current snow depth, open lifts, and trails aren’t publicly updated post-season, we know Heavenly’s 4,800 acres typically hold snow well into May at higher elevations—think Milky Way Bowl or Mott Canyon’s north-facing chutes if you’re earning turns. Off-piste? Expect variable conditions: wind-buffed steeps and sun-cupped glades, with patches of exposed earth playing peek-a-boo. Local pro tip: dawn patrol for frozen hero snow, or hit south-facing slopes by 11 a.m. for surfy carves.

    Looking ahead, the 5-day forecast shows a stable high-pressure pattern—no freshies, but plenty of bluebird days[1]. Warm afternoons mean sunscreen and patio beers are mandatory, though early birds can still find crisp corduroy. While Heavenly hasn’t dropped its 2024/25 season snowfall totals yet, the resort averages a knee-deep 400+ inches annually[5], and this year’s El Niño kept the goods coming well into April.

    Special note? The Epic Pass is already on sale for next winter, throwing in two free Buddy Tickets—perfect for convincing your "I don’t do cold" friend to finally try skiing[1][2]. And if you’re jonesing for summer thrills, mark May 23 on your calendar for gondola rides over turquoise lake vistas. Until then, keep those edges sharp and your stoke higher than the 10,067-foot summit. 🏂❄️
