Daily Ski Conditions for Heavenly Mountain Resort

If you're thinking about heading up to Heavenly Mountain Resort this week, you've got decent conditions to work with, though patience is going to be your best friend right now. As of the latest reports, the mountain is sitting at 104 centimeters of snow at the summit and 45 centimeters at the base, which means you're definitely going to find coverage on most runs, especially the groomed terrain.

The good news is that 100% of Heavenly's slopes are currently open with 23 of 27 lifts running, giving you plenty of options to explore the mountain. The last significant snowfall hit on January 27th, so while the base is decent, things have gotten a bit firm and scraped in spots, particularly on the groomed runs. If you're coming from the East Coast or Midwest where icy conditions are the norm, the current snow quality is actually pretty respectable, though locals are definitely eyeing the forecast hoping for a refresh soon.

Looking at what's coming, here's where it gets interesting. The forecast shows minimal new snow through mid-week, with temperatures hovering in the low to mid 40s Fahrenheit during the day and dipping into the teens and 20s at night. Tuesday through Thursday you're looking at mostly clear to cloudy skies with highs around 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit, which honestly is pretty decent for maintaining current conditions without too much deterioration. However, there's some excitement brewing for next week. The snow forecast models are hinting at potentially 23 centimeters of new snow rolling in around February 10th, which would absolutely transform the skiing experience and refresh all those tracked-out groomed runs.

For the next few days, expect crisp mountain weather with light winds, making for nice visibility and fun spring-like skiing conditions, though you'll want to hit those shady aspects early in the day before they get too soft. The season runs through April 12th, so you've got plenty of time, but if you're dreaming of powder, keep an eye on that forecast for mid-week next week when conditions should really pick up. Heavenly typically receives an impressive 259 inches of snow annually, so even though things are looking a bit lean right now, the season is far from over.
