Heavenly's Final Days: Spring Conditions and Your Last Chance Before April 12

Ski Report for Heavenly Mountain Resort Daily Ski Conditions for Heavenly Mountain Resort # Heavenly Mountain Resort Snow Report Heavenly's winding down its season with some final spring conditions on deck, so if you're thinking about squeezing in a few last runs before the resort closes on April 12, here's what you need to know. The mountain is currently running with 9 out of 29 lifts open and roughly 10 percent of the 94 kilometers of pistes available, which tells you we're definitely in that end-of-season maintenance mode. Snow depth sits at around 48 centimeters at mid-mountain, though conditions are variable across the terrain. The base elevation is hovering at about 19 inches, while the summit holds onto a bit more at various depths depending on altitude. Recent snowfall has been pretty light. Over the past 48 hours, the mountain picked up minimal accumulation, with just 2 centimeters reported on March 30 and 17 centimeters on March 31, though these were exceptions rather than the rule. The season total currently sits at 185 inches, which isn't bad when you consider the average annual snowfall here is around 251 inches. Temperature-wise, expect it to stay cool but not frigid. We're looking at morning temps around minus 3 to minus 7 degrees Celsius, climbing to around minus 3 degrees Celsius during midday. Today should bring about 2 centimeters of new snow in the morning, so if you're heading up, bundle up early. The next five days show classic spring skiing patterns. Today brings some morning snow showers with highs around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, then Friday clears up considerably with mostly sunny skies and temps rising into the low 40s. By the weekend, expect mostly sunny conditions with temperatures climbing into the 50s on Saturday and potentially the 60s by early next week. That means slush season is coming fast, so prioritize morning runs if you want that crispy spring corn snow. Piste conditions are currently listed as variable, which is the diplomatic way of saying spring has arrived and conditions change throughout the day. Off-piste terrain isn't particularly recommended given the limited base depth and freeze-thaw cycles. The mountain's wind is gusting pretty strongly at 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, so visibility might get challenging at times, especially near the summit. One important note: the resort is using its 200 snow guns on about 73 percent of runs to supplement natural snowfall, so at least some terrain should maintain skiable conditions despite the warming trend. However, with less than two weeks until closing day, this is definitely your last-call window to experience Heavenly before next season. The combination of light wind on Friday, abundant sunshine through the weekend, and predictably warmer temps means conditions will rapidly deteriorate from spring powder to wet corn to slush as the week progresses. If you're planning a visit, get there sooner rather than later, and definitely hit the slopes early in t
