Overlooking the sapphire-blue waters of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Ski Resort is one of the most unique snow sports destinations on the planet.

It's no wonder the TSC is returning to this majestic site in 2012 and we invite you to join us!
Who likes variety?

Skiing and snowboarding at Heavenly presents you with a number of different choices. With more terrain variety, more hidden glades, more rippin' groomers than any Lake Tahoe resort, you've got plenty of decisions to make.

Who likes getting around town easily?

Heavenly has an extensive complimentary skier shuttle service. The shuttle leaves every 15 minutes from all major casinos and hotels to either the California Lodge, Nevada lodges, or to the Heavenly Gondola. On race day/banquet night extra shuttles will be added to the pickup schedule.

Who likes a quick trip from the airport?

 

The location of Heavenly Mountain Resort is extremely convenient and affordable for travelers.  It’s within an hour of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and 2 hours of the Sacramento International Airport.

 

Traveling by car is easy as well since Heavenly ski resort is located off 3 major US Highways and interstates that are open year round.

 

Who likes lots of options for dining, entertainment, and nightlife?

Nightlife at Heavenly Mountain Resort provides a rockin' experience you won't find in most other mountain towns. Between the South Lake Tahoe casinos, restaurants, concerts and Heavenly Village activities, there’s never a dull moment on this Lake Tahoe ski vacation.
