Heavenly Mountain Resort: "We may have just finished shoveling, but we’re ready for the snow to fall again! The countdown has already begun, and we’re fired up to announce that our target opening day at Heavenly for the 2023-2024 ski + ride season is slated for November 17, conditions allowing!

Mark your calendars and start wishing for snow, (just not TOO much snow?) ...get ready, get your @EpicPass to lock in the best value for season-long skiing and riding, and start dreaming of winter!"

Heavenly, along with the dozen plus resorts in the Sierras, had a banner season for snow last year. The resort totaled 591 inches on the season, 164% of their reported annual average of 360 inches.

To say it snowed a lot would be a drastic understatement. It would also explain why Heavenly said to start wishing for snow but not "TOO much". That's fair. Plenty of resorts saw last season what can happen when it snow too much.

Start the countdown now. There's just 93 days until Heavenly is open once again.
