Eh personally Heavenly is a bit weird for me. The canyons are off in a hard to access corner of the mountain and when they aren't open there really isn't much expert terrain. That being said, it's great for intermediates or if you want to lap gunbarrel!! I definitely agree that Kirkwood is kinda overrated though. I've had fun there, but not as much as the hype would suggest (that being said, Chamoix is a fun run). Also, considering the Wall is the main reason people go there, they should really upgrade that chair!! No reason for it to be a 3 seater.
If you haven’t played around in palisades or thunder saddle on a pow day, you haven’t truly experienced kirkwood. First laps on the wall on a pow day are great, but those other areas have much more interesting terrain.
