Hey, gang. The final week of the season is here (April 19 – 25) and I wanted to bring you all into the loop about what we’re planning to run. All mountain access will be through the Heavenly Gondola. From there, we’ll have Tamarack Express, Dipper Express and Sky Express, giving you access to 38 trails and over 1,900 acres in California and Nevada. The tubing lift will offer tubing from 11am to 3pm. We’ll be open for skiing and snowboarding from 9am to 4pm on the weekdays and 8:30am to 4pm next weekend. We’ll also have two terrain parks (with Jackpot featuring The Gambler) all next week.

During the final week of operations Heavenly will offer dining at the Adventure Peak Smokehouse as well as East Peak Lodge’s outdoor BBQ (weather permitting) and the indoor food court. The Umbrella Bar at the top of the Gondola will also be open for beverage service. Café Blue on the Observation Deck will be open for light snacks and drinks daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Thanks to timely and consistent snowfall this season, surface conditions will be excellent. We’re also expecting a storm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday that could leave another foot of snow on the mountain for the final few days!

If you haven’t purchased your season pass for the 2010-11 season yet, what are you waiting for? You’ve only got a few days left to get some value this season, but still enough time to completely pay off your pass before next season even starts! Head to EpicPass.com for more info.

Here’s to an awesome end-of-season! I hope to see you on the mountain this week!
