About Heavenly Mountain Resort

Heavenly straddles the California-Nevada line above South Lake Tahoe, and its defining feature is the view: long groomers that seem to pour straight into the largest alpine lake in North America. The terrain splits personalities by state — Nevada's Mott and Killebrew Canyons hold the serious steeps. At Stateline the base is casinos, not a faux-Tyrolean village.

Heavenly Mountain Resort is a ski resort in Lake Tahoe, California. PeakCam tracks 4 webcams here, plus snow depth from the assigned NRCS station, updated every six hours.

The measured base depth is 4 inches. 2 inches of new snow fell in the last 24 hours. Sensor history shows the snowpack has been building over the past week.
