First, the cons.
Heavenly's lift placement makes many of their lifts susceptible to wind holds.
Getting around the mountain can be tricky. There are many long traverses.
If you just follow the trail map, this large resort skis smaller than its size.
The beginner runs are sort of limited, narrow, and spread out or separated from other beginner runs.
Next, the pros.
There is a good variety of intermediate through expert terrain.
The tree skiing is great. It is amazing on a powder day.
If you know your way around or are fortunate enough to follow someone with local knowledge, the off-piste skiing is also fantastic.
One more bit of advice. Don't forget to look up while you are skiing. The views of Lake Tahoe are also pretty good.
