Heavenly Mountain Resort’s opening has been delayed.
We’re working hard to get ready for the season and are just as excited as you are… but we need a little bit more help from Mother Nature in the form of natural snow and colder temps to keep the snow guns running. We are SO close – we need a few more nights of the right conditions to make more snow. Unfortunately, this means we aren’t quite ready to open this Friday as initially planned. We want to – and will – open the very second we can, and we’ll keep you posted along the way. Tahoe weather is often unpredictable (as we saw last year!), and we’re excited for the season ahead. Can’t wait to get open and start sliding around on snow with you… stay tuned for more updates soon.
The Heavenly Gondola will open for sightseeing only on Friday, November 17th from 10AM – 4PM daily until the mountain is open for skiing. We’ll have various dining options available on the mountain including Tamarack Lodge & Blue Sky Café from 11AM – 3PM. Additionally, the retail shops in the Heavenly Village will also be open. Pass holders will receive free sightseeing gondola access and 20% off on mountain locations food & beverage outlets.

Also new this season is Mobile Pass and Mobile Lift Ticket technology that will be available to guests on the new My Epic app. With this technology, guests will be able to store their pass directly on their phone, put their phone in their pocket, and get scanned hands-free via Bluetooth® Low Energy technology. This eliminates the need to wait in the ticket window line or wait for your pass to arrive in the mail. It will also help reduce plastic and RFID chip waste. Plastic cards will still be available to our guests who cannot or do not want to use their phones as their pass. Mobile Pass will be available on the new My Epic app this fall, 2023.
