HEAVENLY FIRES UP WEST COAST’S LARGEST SNOWMAKING SYSTEM

Resort’s Ability to Cover 70 Percent of its Trails in Machine-Made Snow Gives

Early-Season Certainty to Skiers and Riders

Heavenly Mountain Resort, Lake Tahoe, Calif./Nev. – November 20, 2007 –

Under optimum conditions, Heavenly can produce three-and-a-half feet of snow over one acre in an hour. That’s enough snow to blanket a football field with eight-and-a-half feet during an average three-hour game.

"It’s comforting to know that when it’s cold, we have snow," said John Wagnon, Heavenly’s vice president of marketing and sales. "Our guests can be confident that come opening day they’ll be skiing and riding on the best and most consistent snow surface at Lake Tahoe."
