Heavenly is the biggest resort in Lake Tahoe with over 4,800 acres- the most
acreage (spanning two states – California and Nevada). Heavenly offers skiers
and riders 3,500’ vertical from the 10,040’ summit - the biggest vertical drop
in the western USA. Heavenly is a dichotomy, gorgeous with huge views of the
Lake, and hidden gems of glade trails too.
Heavenly has tons of skiing and great lifts like the aerial tram, but the
nightlife at South Shore beacons too with casinos, great restaurants, shopping
and clubs. Heavenly is owned by Vail Resorts (since 2002) and lifts and lodges
have been upgraded. Heavenly is like “vertical Vegas” but it’s also perfect for
a luxury Lake Tahoe ski trip with lots of lodging choices from chain hotels like
Embassy Suites and Marriott, to Harvey’s and Montbleu Resort Casino and Aston
Lakeland Village Resort.
Take the Tram to lunch at the Gunbarrel Grill with phenomenal views of Lake
Tahoe from this spectacular mid-mountain lodge. Heavenly makes a great ski
lodging base during your Lake Tahoe ski trip,
you can enjoy the Heavenly après ski, nightlife, and plentiful South Lake ski
lodging properties, and day trip to nearby
Kirkwood to the south, Alpine Meadows,
Squaw Valley and
Northstar at Tahoe to the north western side of the Lake Tahoe.
