Thanks for helping us make 2007-08 a season to remember. We hope you were there when Olympic Express opened on December 23, or in late February when we opened the Heavenly Flyer, the longest zip line in the continental U.S. January was our snowiest month on record, and March and April were full of bluebird days. No matter what memories you made this season, we wanted to send you into summer with a personal greeting from some of our staff.
This season is in the books, but to stay “in the loop” about what’s going on this summer, including season pass deals and updates on construction, sign up for Heavenly eNews.
We hope you enjoyed the season as much as we did, and we hope to see you at Heavenly next season, making more turns and more memories.
It’s your favorite PNut checking-in! It’s getting to be that sad time of year where several resorts have already closed and the rest are soon to follow! Luckily, Heavenly is still open on the Nevada side by the Gondola - I’m actually about to head over there right now! I can’t wait - Spring riding is some of my favorite because of the warm weather, sun, and soft snow!
I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy lately -
Two weekends ago on the 19th I went to UNR to do the Cricket Rail Jam Campus Tour. It was a really really fun event and I placed 1st in the contest… SOOOO stoked about that - Finals are in Portland on May 23rd so I’m going to head over to Portland next month for a ‘mini-vacation.’ Sal Rubio - our newest team member also rode in the contest and placed 3rd in the Men’s Snowboard Category - YEAH SAL! Killing it
This past weekend, on the 26th I went down to Mammoth for the Volcom PB&J Finals - again the weather was beautiful, the set-up was fun, and there were 254 riders… WOW! It’s the biggest turn-out I’ve ever seen. There was even OVER 50 GIRLS!!! I’m very very happy to say that I placed 4th out of the whole mix.
Now I’m just relaxing - yesterday team member Courtney and I rode bikes around town and laid out on the dock at Timbercover to get some sun & relax… it was so awesome! I’m going to get some more riding in - but it’s nice to enjoy the spring/summer activities too.
Thanks for a great season Heavenly! Can’t wait to do it all over again next year!!!
It is a great season at Heavenly, and another successful Gunbarrel 25 - thanks to all who participated - you keep me excited about skiing the first Saturday in April! I am still traveling and headed to Peru for a steep skiing expedition. I am attempting to climb and ski the northface of Ausangate (an over 20,000 foot peak in southern Peru) which is being documented by RSN on “Reel Thrills” for a show next winter. I will have a lot of stories to share upon my arrival back into the USA come June.
Talk to you then,

Hey everybody,
Just wanted to make sure that you all heard the news…local shredder Sal Rubio has joined the Heavenly High Roller Team. We are very excited to welcome Sal to the team; I know that his enthusiasm and drive to succeed will be a great asset to our already rockin’ team. Last Saturday evening Sal placed 3rd in the Cricket Rail Jam Tour at UNR, beating out 57 other competitors. He has been invited to compete in the Final event to be held May 23, 2008 in Portland, OR.
For more information on Sal and to view his High Roller Team Welcome video click here.
As the season is winding down, I couldn’t be happier with how well it went. I got to ski almost everyday and did well in my competitions. I hope everyone had as fun of a season as I did! Unfortunately, my season ended a few weeks short due to a knee injury, but I can’t be too disappointed. I’m still going up and cruising the groomers, but I can’t wait for next year!

Hope everyone has a good summer! See you next year!!
