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.
