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. 🏂❄️
