A fresh day on the slopes awaits at Heavenly Ski Resort, where overnight temperatures hovered at a mild 33°F, preserving a solid snowpack depth of 54 inches. While this is slightly below the seasonal average, the conditions remain excellent for carving down the mountain. Though no fresh snow has fallen overnight, the resort’s diverse terrain is holding up well, with packed powder on the higher elevations and groomed runs offering smooth turns for skiers and riders. Light winds and mostly clear skies are expected throughout the day, making for a picturesque ride above Lake Tahoe.

Recent news from the resort highlights both challenges and excitement on the mountain. Following reports of a chairlift malfunction earlier in the season, guests are encouraged to check for any lift status updates before heading out. Additionally, the Heavenly Gondola has experienced intermittent closures due to mechanical issues, so plan alternate routes up the mountain when necessary. On a lighter note, the resort remains a family favorite, with stunning lake views and expansive trails spanning both California and Nevada. Whether you're chasing groomers, seeking tree runs, or soaking in the scenery, Heavenly promises another thrilling day on the slopes.
