Snowboarding at Heavenly

So whats the real low down. Majority of boarders that i know that have been to heavenly dont like it .... they say its more skier orientated.... too many flat spots...yadda yadda.  So what are your likes and dislikes bout heavenly. 

heavenly wasn't too bad..i just spent 2 weeks out there. there are several cat trails though. skyline, nevada trail, couple other spots u have to get LOTS of speed to get through. mott/killebrew are fun to go into. if you go there nevada side is much better to be on because it has like 25% of the people that swarm the CA side every single day. the park under tamarack was just finished with some nice medium features. other than that though, all the other parks are slammed all day long.

like spenser said, sierra is very fun, the terrain is nice. it's just pretty small and about 35-40 min drive from where heavenly is.

Thanks guys. I guess Heavenly will be a last resort resort (I guess that makes sense).  Definitely need to hit up Sierra this season.

talk about not knowing where to look.  SAT has the gates and Huckleberry Canyon.  Motts canyon isn't even close to that.

Heavenly flats really are not that bad.  It's flat to traverse between states but most everything else is okay.  Just wax your board good before you go.  Anyone dogging Heavenly hasn't hit up Firebreak and Palisades

heavenly is a popular place to bash (especially with people who are trying to portray themselves on the internet as experts)...I'm not on that bandwagon. Their acreage is absolutely massive and has all levels of terrain...for most of the people on this site, it's a wet dream.  I've been to several tahoe resorts, and always have fun at heavenly (been there at least 10 trips). Also, since town is within walking distance, love being able to go up and call it a day whenever I please.  

The skate isn't bad. I can one foot to the Mott entrance and then strap in and make it to Dipper. Coming the other way I can pretty much make it to Cali from Nevada without stopping. From Comet to Olympic I can make it all the way without stopping too. Wax your board and learn to keep your speed. Practice one footed riding. 

You should go to Heavenly at least once.  Some great views of the lake and it's a massive area (as someone mentioned above).  It does get a bit flat at times, so it can be a workout.

in heavenly village there are like 3 right by the gondola

yea im going to tahoe in DEC. i think for 3 days of boarding after my trip to vegas. i cant wait for the casinos to get their ski packages up and going.

yea im trying to go there in DEC and then again in FEB and cant wait.

tdahl824 and broys thank`s for your help

Heavenly seems to be the "yuppie" park .... i mean Ive got nothing against beginners but the slopes are too crowded and it seems to be the resort that everyone goes to just for the sake of bragging to their friends that theyve skiied/ridden there.
