In the 80s, as mountain manager, I was severely criticized for doubling the width of this run. It turned out to have been a good decision.

Thank you for this video! As a former local for many years, I have skied that run and enjoyed the views many times. The camera angle is perfect to show the immediate conditions as well as what lies ahead and simulate the sensations that compel us to ski. I especially appreciate not having a sound track which would block the sound of the wind and different snow textures which are such an integral part of the skiing experience. Bravo.

Heavenly was the first place I skied. It hadn’t snowed for two weeks, but snowed about a foot the night before I went. After bunny slope training, they sent me up to ski greens. I took the chair down that goes over Gun Barrel. OMG the view. I fell in love and was hooked ever since.

Ah yes, Ridge Run trail, I think using Canyon Express chair lift high enough for the view or using Sky Express lift at the right hours can be shorter line (maybe because Sky Express has some black run on the left of the trail map discourage beginner skier. In later hours it get crowded, many skier try to go to Nevada side using this Sky Express lift to get to Skyline Trail).

I thought Gunbarrel was the most scenic run at Heavenly, you're looking at the lake the whole way down. I was a cook at Harvey's in SLT in the mid '70s when I was in my late teens to early 20s. Skied Heavenly all the time. It was a great time to be young. I lived down the street from Heavenly. I'd get off of work early afternoon grab my skis and go. It was cheap then. I could get a couple of hours skiing in mid-week with few people on the mountain and short lift lines. Gunbarrel was super moguly and it was always my last run of the day. When there was fresh powder it was sublime. We didn't wear helmets then and snowboards weren't allowed, they were considered dangerous. Snowboarders were sort of an outlaw cult. Later I moved to Montana and took up xc. My sis was the chief ranger at Old Faithful in Yellowstone and we'd meet at Big Sky and Telemark with leather boots and three-pin or cable bindings. This was late '80s to early '90s. The snow was incredible, compared to Sierra cement. I'm almost 66 now and don't ride chairlifts anymore. I'm exclusive xc, with a bit of snowshoeing now and then.

I love Lake Tahoe. This run has some nice views of the lake but I still think the main run at the Homewood resort gives the most spectacular view of the lake. It almost makes you dizzy at one point as you get the feeling you are flying over the West Shore part of the lake. I used to live up in Lake Tahoe for many years. I sure do miss the beauty of the lake with its fresh pine air along with the amazing views of the stars in night sky.

Yup, Rainbow Ridge at Homewood has the best view of the lake hands down. It's an easy blue run, so it's (was) accessible to most everyone. Near the end of the run it seems you might ski right into the lake. Too bad it's closed to all but Tahoe residents. I learned to ski at Homewood in the '70s. A lift ticket cost less than $15. Homewood was a family style resort. One of the most affordable. Now it's the least affordable at $270.

Haha, look at the snowpack now! 400" of snow has fallen already in some places. North Sierra resorts see 300-400" inches of snow on average historically. Just not the last several years. It can dump beyond anyone's belief in the Sierra. Look at 1982 at Alpine Meadows. A dangerous, scary amount of snow. I remember a 900" year at Kirkwood too.

If you stay left near the bottom it keeps going even further. You end up at the bottom of the Powder Bowl chair. Really long groomed easy intermediate run with fantastic Tahoe views the whole way.
@dre3951
Жыл бұрын
And then if instead of getting on the Powderbowl chair, you stay a little to the right and you are on Roundabout, which takes you all the way down to the California lodge (base of the Gunbarrel Express lift). So you can ski from the top of Sky (about 10,060 feet or so) down to the California Lodge at about 6500 feet with no lifts if you want (there are lifts to make it a little better if you want). I've done that many times, catching the last ride up on Sky at 4:00. Fun way to end the day.
