# Heavenly Mountain Resort Snow Report

Well, if you're eyeing Heavenly right now, here's what you need to know before you head to Lake Tahoe's crown jewel. The mountain is currently sitting pretty with 58 centimeters of snow at the summit and 25 centimeters at the base, which is respectable for early April. The good news? A powder alarm was issued, forecasting about 7 inches of fresh snow over the next two days, so conditions are about to get seriously interesting.

Looking at the immediate past, Heavenly picked up some meaningful snow recently. The mountain received 6 inches on March 31st with up to an inch more falling on April 1st, and there's 12 centimeters predicted for April 2nd. If you're timing it right, you could catch some excellent spring powder conditions before the warmer weather takes over. The last significant snowfall before this recent activity was back on February 19th, so this latest dump is a welcome gift as the season winds down.

The mountain is operating with 14 out of 94 kilometers of terrain open, which means about 15 percent of the resort is skiable right now. You've got 10 out of 27 lifts running, so plan accordingly and expect some potential wait times on the open terrain. The valley run is open, giving you that classic Heavenly experience with those legendary Lake Tahoe views. Snow quality is currently spring snow, which means it's slushy in the afternoons and can be firm in the mornings, so get up early if you want the best corn snow.

Current weather is showing temperatures ranging from lows around 34°F to highs near 46°F in the valley, with colder conditions higher up the mountain where you'll see temperatures around 24°F at the summit. You can expect freeze-thaw conditions from mid-mountain upward, which is typical for this time of year and actually contributes to that classic spring corn snow experience that many skiers love.

Looking ahead at the five-day forecast, April 2nd brings southwest winds with new snow at altitude, staying relatively cold. By April 3rd through 6th, conditions stabilize with clearer skies and warming temperatures ranging from the high 30s to low 50s. The snow line will gradually climb as temperatures warm, so you'll want to prioritize higher elevation runs as the week progresses.

One important heads-up: Heavenly's season officially closes on April 12th, so you're in the final stretch of the 2025-2026 season. This is your last real chance to make some spring laps before the resort shuts down for the season. The mountain has delivered the goods this year with excellent accumulation throughout the season, and that late-season powder alert means the party isn't over yet. Bundle up those layers, time your runs for maximum corn, and enjoy what could be some excellent late-season skiing before it all wraps up.
