Heavenly Resort Reviews

I've been riding here 10+ years straight because it is close to my house. Love the mountain but it is way overpriced, usually crowded and parking is a joke near the gondola and the other lodge parking is no better. I know the ropes to avoid most of the nonsense but your average person doesn't and it's a shame. Each year prices go up and service goes down. Used to be able to park at the casinos for free, not anymore. Used to be able to buy a reasonably priced lift ticket by searching for deals, not anymore.

• Great Mountain
• Overpriced, crowded, uncaring staff

Lift tickets are way overpriced!!!!! Have to purchase a lift ticket even for lessons. Gondola ride prices are a joke for over $100+. THIEF DAILY!!!! Had 2 days equipment stolen. Security and employees didn't care. Was informed an ongoing issue they are not concerned about. Told us to purchase or rent another equipment if we wanted to continue the rest of the afternoon. No cash is accepted only credit cards. AVOID

• Easily Accessible
• Overprice lift tickets.....NO Security (daily thief of personal equipment)

Great ski resort. If u ski multiple days, definitely get the epic pass. Atmosphere in bar really sucks!

• Great skiing, tons of trails to explore. Great location. Great staff
• Music in the bar of gun barrel lodge to dam loud! U have yell to be heard. Asked multiple times to turn it down and was blown off. No tip for bar tender.

All in all great places for all levels

• Great lift service well groomed family friendly
• Flat on certain lifts

We had a great experience for our first visit at Heavenly. Would definitely recommend it and would like to revisit.

• Lots of intermediate skiing available.
• A lot of black runs are not always open

Overall great experience at the resort. Would go back and would highly recommend for all levels of riders

• Great conditions and excellent services throughout the resort
• Access to Cal side during limited lift operations

Skied for over 50 years. The only reason I would come back here is if my son still lived in CA. Better skiing other areas in the north American areas.

• Views of the lake are wonderful
• Way to quick to close lifts. Very little grooming for intermediate skiers.

Been skiing H for 15 years. Last 5 or so it has descended into mediocrity. Little grooming, never a black any more (much less than before). Less snow making so few runs open before mid-late Jan. where used to be Xmas week most of mountain was open. Close gondola when a hint of a breeze develops and crappy bus service to the other base areas and hour-long lines. Heck, they don't even do their snow monitor correctly: don't clear the measuring pad daily but let it accumulate and measure the total depth (no compensation for melting, shrinkage, blowing) So under report by 50%

• Lots of blue and green terraain
• no groomed blacks. long lines. frequent lift closures. little snow making

I was shocked how good the snow was today. California side, soft snow off the groomers…Ridge bowl and High Five soft bumps. Trees in dipper woods, excellent snow. Lower down on Nevada side a little sparse, but overall really good skiing. Also, not too crowded for a Sunday.

• Snow was surprisingly good today.
• Skiers who ski frequently, often bring their own lunch and snacks to the Mnt. Don’t bother to bring a tea bag or packet of cocoa. Vail resorts won’t give you an empty hit cup. Have to pay $6.50 for a cup. With a day ticket at $250+ one would think they co

Heavenly no longer makes enough snow on the main runs in low snow years. Heavy damage to my new skis over the holidays from hitting loose rocks on the few slopes that were open.

• Great tree skiing and spring skiing
• Poor snow conditions in early season. Rocks on the groomers.
