Expert Opinion

"Heavenly is one of my favourite ski areas and definitely the best value ski holiday destination in the USA. Plenty of affordable large townhomes makes it ideal for groups and large families. With one of the longest seasons in North America, it is also a great option for Easter trips, especially with a few nights tagged on in San Francisco."

"Heavenly is a compact ski resort with trails connecting different areas available to ski. The pistes are maintained to a very high standard and all staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The only criticism is that the runs are not marked and you need to know which lift you are heading for or you can easily get lost."

"Fantastic location just 3 hours from San Francisco. The views from the skiing area are amazing onto the lake and into Nevada - very different. Skiing area could be quite limited compared to larger resorts and the other areas covered by the lift pass are some distance away. The off piste areas were suffering from lack of snow so normally this might not be a problem. The groomed pistes are great for intermediates and wide uncrowded confidence building. The food offering in the village centre is not as wide as some and a car is a requirement."

"We had only ever skied in Europe and wanted a longer ski holiday with a happy ski school for our two children. Heavenly is just what it says it is. The ski area is great, from wide, groomed runs and steep mogul fields to, as they say in the USA, some awesome powder off piste. The ski school was fantastic with the children tackling all of the above. We brought snow with us which was great as it's not been a good season so far for snow but they do make their own snow for nearly the whole resort. We loved our time there, and we will be looking to go back again next year for another awesome ski holiday."

"Went over Xmas and New Year, unfortunately no snowfall at all. Would not go again to this resort as there were not many restaurants other than the Casinos. Nothing to do although went to cinema in casino one night. Lift pass system not as good as Europe has had to queue up every day to action your pass and then queue up for the Gondola which was they only way up on to the mountain. Unfortunately this Gondola was used by sightseers also and groups of children for the toboggan run. I have 3 children so not complaining at that just pointing out that you are queuing for around 1 hour, then the 25 minute gondola ride to the mountain before you even start on the lifts for skiing. There were also long queues at the end of the day for the gondola to get back down to Heavenly."

"Very good resort, great lifts & mountain facilities. Runs are not overly difficult, would nice to have a few more challanging runs. Although we visited 4 other resorts so that was excellent lots to choose from & easy drive between"
