Heavenly boasts 350 inches (889cm) of snow a year and one of the largest snowmaking systems in North America. The size of Heavenly's terrain means it will have a lot to offer all levels of skiers. The California side is preferred by beginners and intermediate skiers and riders, whereas the slopes on the Nevada side are far more interesting, and usually more crowded too, with the more experienced. The parks at Heavenly have something for beginners and advanced tricksters and is the home of the South Shore Soldiers Camp every spring.
