Every day, we highlight one of Okemo's 126 trails. Today's trail is* #### 🟦 [Heaven's Gate](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/heavens-gate) ![Heaven's Gate](https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Heavens%20Gate.jpeg) Heaven's Gate is nice and wide cruiser from the top of the Solitude Express Quad. It rolls left and right with some moderately steep sections and then intersects with a couple of easy trails.  We don't know if this is a coincidence or a theological theme, but Heaven's Gate continues on to [Screamin' Demon](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/screamin-demon) for the Solitude base. Regardless, it makes this pair easy to remember. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.okemozone.com%2Ftest-blog%2F2025-12-21](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.okemozone.com%2Ftest-blog%2F2025-12-21) ## Keep reading [![Sachem - Trail of the Day](https://www.okemozone.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Sachem.jpeg?width=5456&height=4092&name=Sachem.jpeg) ### Fri, Apr 17: 15 trails (+1), ☁️ 58/62° ](https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/2026-04-17) [![Outrage - Trail of the Day](https://www.okemozone.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Outrage.jpeg?width=5395&height=4046&name=Outrage.jpeg) ### Thu, Apr 16: 15 trails (-20), ☁️ 61/75° ](https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/2026-04-16) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "OkemoZone", "url" : "https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/author/okemozone" }, "dateModified" : "2025-12-22T01:28:29.184Z", "datePublished" : "2025-12-22T01:28:29.000Z", "headline" : "Sun, Dec 21: 40 trails (-11), ☀️ 12-21°", "image" : [ "https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Heavens%20Gate.jpeg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/2025-12-21", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/logos/okemozone.png" }, "name" : "OkemoZone" } } ```
