From the footsteps of it's first skier, Snowshoe Thompson, Heavenly's history has been filled with many colorful memories. The Heavenly story from beginning to end is sure to bring a tear to your eye and smile to your face.
When you stand on the summit of Monument Peak, some 10,100 feet above sea level, and marvel at the sheer size of Heavenly with its grand vistas of two states, you may find it hard to believe that this place began as little more than a rope tow and a ski run.
But a handful of visionaries who dreamed of creating a world-class destination resort really did make a mountain out of a molehill. Their story is one of passion and pain, and of battling constant adversity and now you can hear all about it while on the slopes.
Heavenly Ski Resort is now offering a new program geared toward the history of Heavenly Mountain. You can now ski with a ranger for free on Monday or Friday at 10:00am or 1:00pm and learn the history, facts and secrets Heavenly Mountain. All participants must be able to ski at an intermediate level. No need to reserve just meet the ranger at the top of the Gondola and have a heavenly day!
