Ski Report for Heavenly Mountain Resort
Daily Ski Conditions for Heavenly Mountain Resort
Heavenly Mountain Resort is firing on all cylinders right now, serving up spring skiing conditions that'll keep you grinning all the way down the mountain. As of mid-March, the resort is sporting a solid 40-inch base depth, with conditions ranging from variable to hard-pack depending on where you drop in. At the summit, you're looking at around 107 centimeters of snow, while the base is holding about 51 centimeters, giving you plenty of cushion across the mountain's 4,800 skiable acres.
Currently, 18 of 27 lifts are spinning and 84 of 111 runs are open, which means you've got fantastic terrain choices whether you're a groomer cruiser or a steep-seeking adrenaline junkie. The last significant snowfall hit on February 19th, so the snow's had a few weeks to settle and bond nicely. Fresh powder isn't in the forecast right now, but honestly, that's typical for late March in the Sierra Nevada.
The weather picture over the next five days is about as spring as it gets. Expect daytime highs climbing from the mid-50s to the low 70s Fahrenheit, with overnight lows hanging in the 30s to high 40s. This freeze-thaw cycle is classic spring skiing territory, which means morning corduroy and crusty afternoons. Thursday and Friday look especially nice with clear skies and comfortable temps in the 50s to 60s. By the weekend and into early next week, things are warming significantly, with highs potentially reaching the mid-70s, so get your early-morning runs in before the snow gets too slushy.
For the season to date, Heavenly has received around 33 inches so far this year, though the annual average hovers near 251 to 272 inches. The piste conditions are variable right now thanks to that spring cycle, while off-piste terrain shows signs of spring crust forming as the sun does its thing. Visibility is good, which means you can appreciate those legendary Lake Tahoe views while you're carving.
With 76 percent of the mountain's runs open across all ability levels, there's seriously something for everyone. The resort's grooming crew is keeping the corduroy fresh on the pisted runs, so if you're into that buttery-smooth experience, you're in luck. The forecast suggests snow is unlikely for the next week, so this is an excellent window to hit the mountain before conditions become too slushy or the seasonal closure approaches on April 12th.
