As host of the 1960 Winter Olympics, the Palisades Tahoe legacy has maintained a vibrant ski culture and mountain energy that spans from village to peak. Its spirit of outdoor adventure is reflected by the views of Lake Tahoe’s translucent waters, and its inspiration is carved into the slopes of the Sierra mountains. Beginners will find forgiving learning zones set among dramatic alpine scenery, while varied trails, bowls and chutes mean that skiers and snowboarders will never outgrow the progressive terrain. With consistent snowfall that stays around well into the spring, Palisades Tahoe boasts one of the longest ski and snowboard seasons in the country.
