SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – With 9 inches of new snow in the last week and more actively falling, Heavenly Mountain Resort announced today that it will open two days earlier than originally planned on Wednesday, November 20. These ideal conditions, along with the incredible work of the resort’s snowmaking and mountain operations teams, will make for an exciting opening day.
Guests heading to South Lake Tahoe to break out their skis and boards for the start of winter will enjoy an early-season footprint on the California side of the mountain. Enjoy a refreshed Mountain Resort food and beverage experience at the brand-new Golden State Kitchen at California Lodge or check out Rockstar Bar & Grill for your food and après fix. The resort will also have a DJ at the base to bring the beats and celebrate the start of the season.
The Gondola will operate on Heavenly’s original opening date, Nov. 22, for sightseeing only (no ski or ride access initially) to take in the iconic views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada Mountain range that the resort is known for. The Ridge Rider Mountain Coaster at the top of the gondola will be open throughout the Thanksgiving holiday period as conditions permit.
“It has been such a privilege to work alongside this dedicated team as they have been working tirelessly ahead of our opening day,” said Shaydar Edelmann, Vice President and General Manager of Heavenly Mountain Resort. “Thanks to them – and some recent help from Mothe.
