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.

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.
