Few ski resorts match Heavenly's scenic beauty and expansive network of lifts, terrain, trails, and snowmaking. Located on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly is the region's largest mountain resort, featuring the highest elevation and longest vertical drop. The big news for this season is the opening of the long-awaited 8 passenger Gondola. The lift will whisk you from downtown Stateline directly to the top of the mountain, near the California-Nevada border. A new village is taking form that will soon include two new resort hotels, a cinema complex and more. The views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra mountain range are magnificent The snowfall tops 20 feet virtually every year and you can slide over 4,800 skiable acres. This resort spans two statelines (California and Nevada). This is a flagship far western resort of the American Skiing Company.
