March at Palisades Tahoe was filled with unforgettable moments, and at the forefront of it all was our official Palisades Tahoe Athlete Team. Conditions on the hill were incredible, with a nice mix of sunny days and stormy weather. Here are some highlights of the last days of deep winter:
Men’s Snowboard athlete Tilden Wooley becomes the newest Team Palisades Tahoe alumni to qualify for the Freeride World Tour. He is one of 9 Region 2 Riders to Qualify for FWT25 following the 2024 Kirkwood IFSA Challenger this past Monday, April 1. Tilden started with Team Palisades Tahoe around the age of 10, and now this season he qualifies for FWT25 at just 21 years old.
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.
Palisades Tahoe has one of the most impressive ski & snowboard team programs in the world. Our teams, collectively known as Team Palisades Tahoe, support thousands of athletes ages 3 to 20 not just in the winter, but all year round. With dozens of events throughout each season, strict requirements for racecourse surfaces, and a lot of people to fit on the hill, it is no small feat to plan and execute for the needs of Team Palisades Tahoe. Here’s a closer look at how we make it happen.

If we can all mind the policies put in place by our local and state health officials and the mountain operations teams, then we can do our part to keep the virus away. It’s quite simple actually. If you help do your part, we all stay healthy and we get to keep skiing and riding.
