    Daily Ski Conditions for Heavenly Mountain Resort, California/Nevada

    Get ready to hit the slopes at Heavenly Mountain Resort, straddling the California-Nevada border. Here’s the latest scoop on what you need to know before you go:

    Heavenly is currently boasting a solid 79-inch base depth, with 27 of 27 lifts open and 114 out of 118 trails ready for action[1][3]. The snow conditions are described as "hard-pack," with an average snow depth of 103cm (40 inches) across the resort[2].

    Looking at the specifics, the base at 2054 meters (6739 feet) has a depth of 65cm (26 inches), while the top at 3128 meters (10264 feet) is sitting at 144cm (57 inches)[2]. There’s been no new snowfall in the last 24 and 48 hours, with the last dump occurring on February 7[2][4].

    The current weather conditions are clear, with good visibility and temperatures ranging from -2°C (28°F) at the summit to warmer conditions at lower elevations[2][4]. For the next 5 days, expect clear skies with temperatures gradually warming up, but no new snowfall is predicted until March 4, when a light 1 inch is expected[4].

    Piste conditions are hard-pack, but off-piste areas still offer soft, untouched powder from earlier storms. However, be cautious as avalanche precautions remain in effect due to recent heavy snowfall[5].

    Season total snowfall is not explicitly mentioned, but the resort is known for its average annual snowfall of 1200 centimeters (472 inches)[2]. The snowpack is currently at 102% of normal, with a snow water equivalent of 15.9 inches, ensuring excellent coverage across the mountain[5].

    Before you head out, note that there have been recent incidents, including a malfunction on the Comet Express chairlift and temporary closures affecting certain lifts and gondolas. Also, expect some congestion near the base due to traffic delays on Ski Run Boulevard[5].

    Overall, Heavenly remains a top-tier destination with breathtaking lake views, superb snow, and ample terrain to explore. So, gear up and enjoy the ride
