Heavenly Mountain Resort, California

Heavenly Mountain Resort occupies a unique position at the south end of Lake Tahoe, split between California and Nevada and connected by a network of lifts that cross state lines. The resort is immediately recognizable by the views it delivers — Lake Tahoe stretching north from the California side, and the vast Nevada desert rolling out below the Nevada side.

Lift access begins with the Heavenly Gondola rising from South Lake Tahoe village. From there, the Sky Express, Comet Express, Olympic Express, and a network of additional lifts serve terrain across both states. Beginners build confidence at the California and Nevada base areas, while intermediate riders enjoy long cruisers across the mountain's broad flanks. Expert terrain fans out into Mott Canyon, Gunbarrel, the Galaxy, Milky Way Bowl, and challenging chutes off the upper ridge — some of the most demanding terrain in the Tahoe region.

On-mountain facilities span several lodge areas across the California and Nevada sides. Navigate the full resort with the Heavenly Mountain Map app, your companion for interactive trail maps and real-time lift status.
