Tours depart from Tamarack Lodge at the top of the Heavenly Gondola every Friday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The tours last about one hour and will be offered through April 15, weather permitting. Participants must be at least intermediate level skiers/boarders and provide their own lift ticket. No reservations are required. Attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis and group size is limited to 12.

Tours are led by Forest Service staff and volunteers to help educate the public about conservation and promote environmental literacy and stewardship.
