SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – After an early season closure on April 5 resulting from less-than-ideal situations, Heavenly Mountain Resort has determined to provide one final hurrah to its friends by reopening its Upper California Trail and Tamarack Return on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 after the latest storm cycle introduced in 25 inches of snow for the mountain.
“When we obtained this storm after we closed, we instantly began brainstorming – ‘What can we do? Can we get something open? Can we take some snow off of other runs and move it to at least one or two runs to be able to get our guests back on snow?’” said Cole Zimmerman, Senior Manager of Communications at Heavenly Mountain Resort. “So that’s what we did. We began working arduous.”
The uncommon reopening serves as a “thank you” to their friends and go holders who helped have a good time Heavenly’s seventieth season.
Those wishing to buy carry tickets or day passes can accomplish that on-line, and should you’re a 2025/26 Epic Pass holder, you may make the most of your go this weekend. Access to the mountain is on the market by way of the Heavenly Gondola.
“If you buy a lift ticket this season, you’re able to use the cost of that towards an Epic Pass for next season,” mentioned Zimmerman. In addition to snowboarding and using, their mountain coaster, remark deck, and meals and drinks can be open to take pleasure in.
Zimmerman notes that parking at Stateline may be restricted so beginning at 9:30 a.m. and working each quarter-hour, a free shuttle will transport of us from Heavenly’s California Main Lodge to the Stateline Transit Center. Free shuttle rides from Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe to Kirkwood may also proceed.
