DESCRIPTION:
Ellie's is a fantastic cruiser located off Sky Express at Heavenly! Unfortunately, Heavenly barely grooms this run anymore so don't count on it being groomed during your visit. Even in this video, they only groomed Ellie's Swing which bypasses the upper section of Ellie's. This is SUCH a shame as Ellie's top-to-bottom makes for a 10/10 cruiser according to my dad who's done it. I really don't understand why Heavenly doesn't groom it consistently top-to-bottom, I can only imagine that it would be the best groomer at the resort. That being said, I won't complain too much more because the run that we did get to ski was absolutely fantastic. It had snowed the previous night so not only was the snow just fantastic, the run offered amazing Lake Views and was in general a lot longer and steeper than expected! We got fresh corduroy on Ellie's and it's was one of the best experiences I've had on a groomed run! I don't really have much more to say about this run, it might just be my favorite groomer at the resort and one of my favorites out there because of the steep pitch, fantastic snow, and amazing lake views. It's just a huge shame that they don't consistently groom it from top-to-bottom. Heavenly is a mountain that primarily appeals to skiers of intermediate to advanced proficiency so not having a consistently groomed signature advanced cruiser is really sad. I would love to see Heavenly groom Ellie's top-to-bottom on a daily, or at least weekly, basis because even skiing 3/4ths of it made me instantly fall in love with it.

PERSONAL ENJOYMENT RATING: 8.5/10 (could have been higher if Heavenly actually groomed it top-to-bottom 😢)
