A Rich History

Founded in 1949 by Alexander Cushing, the resort was thrust onto the world stage when it hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics. This event cemented its reputation for incredible terrain and a vibrant ski culture. The mountain’s spirit is defined by a legacy of freeskiing pioneers and Olympic champions. The 2012 merger with Alpine Meadows and the subsequent renaming to Palisades Tahoe in 2021 created one of North America’s largest ski resorts, now connected by the Base to Base Gondola.

Resort Overview

Palisades Tahoe is massive. It spans 6,000 skiable acres across two mountains, featuring 8 peaks, 16 bowls, and over 270 trails. The base elevation sits at 6,200 feet, climbing to a summit of 9,050 feet. The terrain is famously diverse, with about 25% designated for beginners, 45% for intermediates, and 30% for advanced and expert skiers. Its crown jewel, the KT-22 lift, is often cited as one of the best ski lifts in North America, offering immediate access to expert-level chutes and cliffs.

Skiing & Snowboarding Activities
The sheer variety is staggering. Beginners can find their feet on the wide, gentle slopes at the High Camp area or in the dedicated learning zones at the base. Intermediates will love the endless cruising runs off the Shirley Lake and Gold Coast lifts. For the experts, Palisades Tahoe is a true playground, with legendary zones like The Palisades, Silverado, and Granite Chief Peak offering some of the most challenging in-bounds terrain anywhere. The resort also features multiple terrain parks for all skill levels. With over 40 lifts, getting around is efficient.
