The weekend of March 16th and 17th marked a monumental achievement for Team Palisades Tahoe. Our Freeride athletes showcased their skills at the Kirkwood International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA) Junior 3* event, which was the final showdown of the season for the IFSA Junior series. Securing an impressive 19 top 5 finishes across 7 categories, clinching the #1 spot in each, it is clear that Team Palisades Tahoe exemplifies the future of Freeride ski and snowboard athletes.

February was another great month for our Athlete Team! We are particularly grateful for the support we received from our crew during the Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup. Jonny Moseley, Daron Rahlves, Travis Ganong, Bryce Bennett, & AJ Hurt each played a significant role in our Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup programming.

Palisades Tahoe, nestled in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada, is the premier training ground for top-tier athletes destined for the highest levels of international competition. This is where champions are forged, legacies are born, and history is made. Rooted in the historic 1960 Winter Olympics, our mountain continues to shape the future of ski racing, setting the stage for the upcoming 2024 Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup. This is where ski racers will become champions, where legends will become legendary.
