![]() ![]() ![]() This is a pretty good place to learn as the lodge is nearby if you need some rest. The ski school is based at Bear Cave near Tamarack Lodge with good access to Easy Street. The trails off the Tamarack Express are shorter than off Sky Express but are perfectly suited to intermediate skiers and snowboarders.ĬALIFORNIA SIDE BEST FOR… BEST FOR BEGINNERS The Tamarack Express is a fast 6 person chair that will give you access to California trail for the traverse back to California Lodge. There is also a Tubing Hill and Mountain Coaster found here in the Adventure Peak area. Staying on the mountain? Well, the area around Tamarack Lodge is a base for ski school, with Easy Street and Big Easy perfect learner trails. Perfect if you want to head into the village for some lunch. Skyline trail will also take you all the way over to Milky Way and the Nevada Side, but as this post is about California I’ll save that for another day.įrom Skyline Trail you can take California Trail and Cascade, two fun Blues that will take you to the Tamarack Lodge and the top of Heavenly Gondola. These two areas have some really fun tree skiing and allow you to get away from the crowded groomers. My favourite option from here however is to take the Skyline trail and then find a spot to drop into the Ski Ways Glades or Pinnacles. ![]() Sky Express gives you some fantastic options with it possible to ride down Ridge Run back towards Canyon or Powderbowl Express chairs. High Five is one of a few really nice groomed runs off the Canyon Express that are perfect to explore first thing in the morning. Shorter and less crowded than the Sky Express it accesses my favourite groomed run High Five. At the bottom of Patsy’s run, you will find two further chairlifts.Ĭanyon Express Chair is one of my favourites on the California side. The area can get busy as it is an access point to the mountain but this clears outside of peak times. Patsy’s is a mellow green and with its own chairlift, this is a popular place for people to learn. Just makes for a faster start to the day.įrom the top of Gunbarrel or The Tram, you will find yourself at the top of Patsy’s run with two options… one take Patsy’s run or head down The Face, where you will find a number of Double Black Diamond graded trails and the perfectly groomed blue, World Cup. A four-person quad chair, I prefer to ride Gunbarrel as you can ski off away from the lift with your gear already on. The Tram is a popular method of getting onto the mountain but personally, I prefer the Gunbarrel Express chair. Gunbarrel Express runs parallel to the Heavenly Tram and uplifts to a very similar drop off point, the top of Paty’s run. California lodge offers two routes of uplifting onto the mountain, The Tram and Gunbarrel Express. The Heavenly Tram uplifts around 650 people per hour from the California Lodge car park to the top of Patsys run. A short drive from the Heavenly Village and you will be at California Lodge. ![]()
