Heavenly Mountain Resort is turning up the energy as Toyota Air & Après returns for its third year in a row—bigger and more action-packed than ever. Taking over the California Base from February 27 to March 1, this free, weekend-long celebration blends world-class skiing and riding with live music, film, and après vibes. All of it unfolds against the stunning backdrop of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada.
At the heart of the weekend is the signature Big Air Show, when top-performing skiers and snowboarders launch into the night sky off a massive jump at the base of World Cup, all while music, 3D projections, special effects, and fireworks set the mood. It makes for a unique combination: Part high-energy action sports event, part nighttime festival—and completely free to attend.
Beyond the main events, Toyota will be popping up across Heavenly all weekend with interactive activations and surprises at the Heavenly Gondola, Tamarack Lodge, and California Lodge. Expect games, giveaways, and plenty of chances to relax and soak in the festival atmosphere. See the complete lineup of events below.
Friday: DJ Takeover With Dombresky
Acclaimed French DJ Dombresky sets the stage for the weekend. Friday kicks off with five continuous hours of music at the jump site, featuring Heavenly’s famous Rockstar DJ Cat. Headlining the event is a two-hour set from Dombresky, who will be bringing high-energy beats from 5–7 p.m. to get the crowd warmed up for the weekend ahead.
Saturday: Music, Film, And Big Air
Saturday raises the stakes even higher. Festivities start Saturday afternoon at California Lodge’s Rockstar Bar with more DJs to ramp up the energy. Saturday evening brings something truly special: A screening of Warren Miller’s latest film SNO-CIETY projected right on the face of the jump at the base of World Cup from 6–7 p.m. The main event takes center stage at 7 p.m., as athletes catch air for the Big Air Show. Stick around for the after party and athlete signings at California Lodge.
Sunday: Rail Jam And Family Fun
The excitement continues through Sunday with a rail jam in Groove Terrain Park, showcasing creativity and style from skiers and riders. Families can join in on the fun with an all-day mountain scavenger hunt, featuring prizes provided by Toyota. It all makes for a one-of-a-kind weekend at Heavenly Mountain Resort for all ages.
