Reviews for Heavenly
Total (3.5)
A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I've been riding here 10+ years straight because it is close to my house. Love the mountain but it is way overpriced, usually crowded and parking is a joke near the gondola and the other lodge parking is no better. I know the ropes to avoid most of the nonsense but your average person doesn't and it's a shame. Each year prices go up and service goes down. Used to be able to park at the casinos for free, not anymore. Used to be able to buy a reasonably priced lift ticket by searching for deals, not anymore.

Lift tickets are way overpriced!!!!!
Have to purchase a lift ticket even for lessons. Gondola ride prices are a joke for over $100+.
THIEF DAILY!!!! Had 2 days equipment stolen. Security and employees didn't care. Was informed an ongoing issue they are not concerned about. Told us to purchase or rent another equipment if we wanted to continue the rest of the afternoon.
No cash is accepted only credit cards.
AVOID

Skied for over 50 years. The only reason I would come back here is if my son still lived in CA. Better skiing other areas in the north American areas.

Been skiing H for 15 years. Last 5 or so it has descended into mediocrity. Little grooming, never a black any more (much less than before). Less snow making so few runs open before mid-late Jan. where used to be Xmas week most of mountain was open. Close gondola when a hint of a breeze develops and crappy bus service to the other base areas and hour-long lines.
Heck, they don't even do their snow monitor correctly: don't clear the measuring pad daily but let it accumulate and measure the total depth (no compensation for melting, shrinkage, blowing) So under report by 50%

I was shocked how good the snow was today. California side, soft snow off the groomers…Ridge bowl and High Five soft bumps. Trees in dipper woods, excellent snow. Lower down on Nevada side a little sparse, but overall really good skiing. Also, not too crowded for a Sunday.

Heavenly no longer makes enough snow on the main runs in low snow years. Heavy damage to my new skis over the holidays from hitting loose rocks on the few slopes that were open.
