This morning at Heavenly Ski Resort, skiers and riders are greeted with mild overnight temperatures of 33°F and a snowpack depth of 26 inches, which is lower than the seasonal average. While conditions reflect a thinner base, the recent spring-like snow reported across the Sierra is keeping trails refreshed and inviting. Groomers have worked hard overnight to ensure smooth runs, and the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) of 7.8 inches hints at decent snow density for carving. Though no new snowfall is expected today, forecasts suggest another storm system may be on the horizon later in the week, potentially adding to the slopes.
Guests should stay informed, as recent headlines highlight several operational updates and safety incidents. The temporary closure of the Comet Express lift following a lift chair malfunction is still in effect, so plan routes accordingly. Despite setbacks, the resort continues to offer its iconic cross-border skiing experience, providing stunning panoramic views of Lake Tahoe. Whether you're here for the family-friendly terrain or to soak in the unique two-state runs, Heavenly promises a memorable day on the mountain. Dress in layers, as mild temperatures call for comfort, and keep an eye on the horizon for that much-anticipated return of winter storms.
