more informationThe upper Californian side is generally fast, blue, cruising terrain with more difficult runs higher up, but plenty of easy cruising runs descending to mid-mountain. Most of the trails are ideally suited to intermediates – long cruisers bordered by banks of pine trees and enhanced by the stunning views of the lake. You can take the Sky Express chair and try Liz's or Betty's, then head to Nevada for the Big Dipper, Sand Dunes, Perimeter and Galaxy runs – the Nevada face consists mainly of blue trails.
The most advanced Heavenly skiing and riding is found in Mott Canyon and Killebrew Canyon. Steep chutes are cut through the trees, with runs such as Snake Pit, Widowmaker, and the difficult Boundary Chutes. Links between the two sides involve a number of lengthy flats that bring complaints from snowboarders. Heavenly has four terrain parks and a super-pipe.
