Skiing Holidays in Heavenly, USA
Overlooking the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly offers scenic beauty and is an ideal destination for beginners and advanced skiers alike. Few ski resorts can match Heavenly's superior scenic beauty, terrain, trails or snowmaking.
Located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range at Monument Peak, Heavenly's slopes cross the Californian border into Nevada, making it the only major bi-state ski resort in the USA. The resort is vast with 17 lifts in California and 12 lifts in Nevada. Heavenly has no less than 4800 skiable acres draped across the mountain.
A ski holiday to Heavenly will suit skiers of all abilities, with advanced backcountry skiing and moguls to long intermediate cruisers. Beginners are also catered for with a number of gentle slopes. Heavenly features a boarder cross trail, three terrain parks (advanced, intermediate and beginner) and a half-pipe, as well as several terrain features built around the mountain regularly.
Heavenly's high-altitude Adventure Peak Snow Park is located at the top of the Gondola. The first part of the adventure is simply getting there! The 2.4-mile ride up the mountainside in the Gondola is one trip you'll never forget. The second part of the adventure is the park itself, complete with snow tubing, sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and a 25 ft rock climbing wall.
A vast amount of daytime activities are to found around Heavenly including natural hot springs, ice fishing, hot air ballooning, sleigh ridges and outlet shopping. For the inevitable hunger that follows prolonged blissful skiing, you'll find Cafe Blue, midway between lake and sky (and first stop on the Gondola), an al fresco dining paradise with views to match. Alternatively take a break at the top of the Gondola for a sandwich hot off the grill at the Adventure Peak Grill.
