Facilities & Services
Heavenly Ski Resort has a comprehensive assortment of facilities and services including on-mountain restaurants, ski and snowboard rental outlets, ski school and child care.
Eating On Mountain
On mountain dining is available at six mid mountain locations and three base lodge locations. The chow isn’t the greatest at most of the Heavenly locations, but it’s passable for the very hungry.
Best views and food are at the Lakeview Lodge at the top of the Gunbarrel Express.
Avoid the burgers at the Adventure Peak Grill; they’re slap bang affairs put together with no love at all.
Facilities for Children
Day Care for kids aged 6 weeks to 6 years is available at the California Lodge at the base of the Gunbarrel Express. Full day or half day programs are available. Ski school and child care combos are also available for children ages 3 and above.
Bright Beginnings is another child care centre, located in Stateline, for ages 6 weeks to 12 years. There are also various babysitting services available.
Ski School
The ski and snowboard school at Heavenly has three locations, two in California (gondola base and at California Lodge) and one in Nevada near the beginner area at Boulder Lodge. The Ski and Ride school serves up the usual menu of group, private, adult and kids programs. The knuckle draggers (ie wet bums) get to learn at a Burton Learn to Ride Centre (California Lodge). Try not to be indoctrinated by all the Burton subliminal messaging........BURTON.............Burton...........burton...............notrub.
Must buy Burton board….
Equipment Rental
Ski and snowboard rentals are EVERYWHERE in South Lake Tahoe. Heavenly Sports has seven locations – three on the hill at the base lodges, one near the gondola base, and three in hotels/casinos (Embassy Suites, Harrah’s and Harveys). For those wishing to avoid the ‘official’ ski rental shops, try the shopping mall area south of the gondola base station.
Banking
Full banking facilities are available throughout South Lake Tahoe.
