Is Heavenly difficult?
Heavenly is not a mountain for beginning skiers. In fact it is difficult for intermediate skiers. Unless you get on a trail run, the regular runs such as Comet are very crowded.
What is the easiest blue section of Heavenly?
At Heavenly, I think the easiest blue runs are the ones near Tamarack Express. Sam’s Dream is about the easiest Blue, I think. From Comet Express, I think Comet isn’t too bad, and Nevada Trail On the California Side, I guess Ridge Run or Roundabout (but that one can get icy depending on weather).
