"The reopening offers a rare bright note at the end of a historically difficult season for the Sierra Nevada. The 2025-26 snowpack peaked on March 8 at just 55% of the long-term average maximum."
"California's March was its warmest and driest on record, and the statewide snowpack stood at just 18% of average on April 1, the second-lowest reading ever recorded."
Heavenly Mountain Resort will reopen on April 18 and 19 after receiving 25 inches of snow from a late-season storm. This unexpected closure reversal allows the resort to celebrate its 70th anniversary season. Skiing will be available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with limited access via gondola. Free shuttles will operate from California Main Lodge to Stateline Transit Center, and to Kirkwood Mountain Resort, which also concludes its season on April 19. The season has been challenging due to historically low snowfall and warm temperatures.
