Few ski resorts match Heavenly's scenic beauty and expansive network of lifts, terrain, trails, and snowmaking. Located on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly is the region's largest mountain resort, featuring the highest elevation and longest vertical drop.

The views of Lake Tahoe, the Sierra mountain range and Carson Valley are magnificent. The snowfall tops 30 feet virtually every year and you can slide over 4,800 skiable acres. This resort spans two statelines (California and Nevada). There have been millions of dollars invested in mountain improvements over the several years. Heavenly is owned by Vail Resorts, Inc.
