Fact Sheet
HEAVENLY: ALL IN
High above the sapphire-blue waters of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly is one of the most unique snowsports resorts on the planet. A Heavenly vacation is definitely not for the faint of heart. With a massive mountain full of off-the-grid terrain and incredible views of Lake Tahoe, it’s for those who want to go big and forge their own path. And with high-octane, non-stop nightlife, it’s also for those who want to push their limits well into the night.
The choices are endless. Do you ski California or Nevada? Will it be 34 miles of wide-open, groomed cruisers, 1,600-foot plunges in the double-black-diamond canyons or the most outrageous tree skiing in North America? Or do you save your energy for Unbuckle, the ultimate après ski party, Vegas-style nightlife, all-night dance clubs, world-class entertainment and five-star dining?
When you come to Heavenly, you better plan to go “all-in” … because Heavenly is for those who are up for first chair and are still going strong after last call. At Heavenly, you play hard and sleep when you get home.
