"The first person I saw at Heavenly was the lift pass scanner Ken at the gondola and I appreciated his service as there was a skier in front of me who had ski poles waving back and forth. Thanks to Ken I still have my eyes! Thank you for invoking common sense. Great lift service and snowmaking here in what is a historically low snow season. Love Gunbarrel bump run and Skyline trail!"

"Beautiful place for skiing and snowboarding. It was a bit crowded but not too bad for a holiday weekend. We bought a one day epic pass so the check-in was a breeze. Parking was not available since you have to make reservations ahead of time. We didn’t know so my wife had to drop us off and pick us up since she didn’t go skiing. Can’t imagine what it would be like for other people. The slopes were pretty and..."

"Skies in Saturday during presidents weekend. Conditions were pretty good and views are amazing. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not very crowded. Most lifts I only waited a minute and only once I waited about 5 minutes. The only downside is that it’s so expensive."

"Kicked off my 25/26 season at Heavenly and have spent 3 days on the mountain so far. Only three trails are open right now, but honestly can’t complain for early-season conditions. Maggie’s being open is a big deal — it’s a great warm-up run to ease into the new season. That said, with only a few slopes available, all levels of skiers and riders get funneled into the same areas. It made maneuvering a bit tricky, and at times pretty..."

"Plenty of lifts and trails at Heavenly, but only 16%-18% opened on December 24-25. Way too crowded. Stayed in line for more than an hour at the Powderbowl Express lift."

"Great place to ski! A lot of lifts. Checking passes only on the first level, what is very convenient because you don’t waste your time when you skiing up high."
