This text does seem to have some mistakes.
Peer comment(s):
neutral gtreyger (X) : It's a play on words, there is an actual place at Lake Tahoe that is called "Heavenly"

neutral Can Altinbay : The text is pretty standard for this kind of marketing material in the kind of wording it uses. "Heavenly" is capitalised with lift because it's the lift at the Heavenly resort.

Yes, as Kim mentionned, it is capitalized because it is a proper noun. :-)

I meant a \"ski resort\", but it is capitalized nonetheless as it is a proper noun.
