SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – There is a delay to opening for both Heavenly and Northstar resorts due to recent warm temperatures throughout the region. They had both planned on opening on Friday, November 19.
The resorts will monitor conditions and provide an update on a new target opening date early next week.
“Our top priority is to provide our guests with the best early-season ski and ride experience possible,” said Heavenly General Manager and Vice President, Tom Fortune and Northstar General Manager and Vice President, Deirdra Walsh in a statement. “While Mother Nature has not made it easy for recent snowmaking operations, our expert snowmaking team is ready to fire up the snow guns at every opportunity as the weather gets cooler this week and next. We look forward to opening as soon as we feel we can provide our guests with a better experience and quality snow conditions.”
Importantly, while the slopes aren’t quite ready to ski and ride yet, sightseeing will begin as planned at Heavenly with the opening of the gondola and Tamarack Lodge on Friday, November 19.
