Operations

We’re the only ski resort open in Lake Tahoe and there are still TEN DAYS to get your last turns in. We’re looking pretty good for the final stretch, but since it has been (and will continue to be) quite warm, we thought you’d want another update. Here’s our best guess for the end of the 23/24 season:

We are nearing the end of the 23/24 season, and we know you all are eager to find out what will happen over the next few weeks. There are two things we want you to keep in mind: Temperatures are warming, and lifts are going to start to close.

It’s getting warmer, which means we need to shift our daily operation schedule and open earlier. This is standard practice for us in the Springtime in order to have optimal snow conditions for skiing and snowboarding. Here’s what you should expect:

As temperatures warm and snowmelt intensifies, our grooming teams are hard at work maintaining our existing snowpack with the goal of getting it to last as long as possible. This time of year, we tend to get a lot of questions about *how* grooming works. Here, we’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions to give you more insight into this exciting, challenging operational time in the season:

These warm temps sure are getting us excited for summer, but ski season isn’t over yet. At Alpine, we have a little over a week left in the season, while at Palisades, we plan to keep making turns through May 27th (Memorial Day). We want to ski everything as long as possible, so we’re not calling hard closure dates for most chairlifts. When it burns out, that’s when we’ll stop skiing it. Here is our best guess for what might happen.

We’ve been enjoying these small, frequent storms throughout the last week and we hope you have, too. As we move into April, we are in full Spring Skiing Capital mode and planning for another 2 months of skiing and snowboarding. Here’s what you need to know:

We have some super exciting news in this week’s Terrain Park update. We’re supporting B4BC this weekend *and* we’ll be hosting a rail jam on April 19th!

This week’s Terrain Parks update was written by Jacy Lentini, Terrain Parks Supervisor. All three of our parks are likely to be impacted by the incoming storm.

While some of our favorite furry friends get to lounge about the house and enjoy leisurely walks with their humans, Palisades Tahoe patrol dogs are working and training to be ready at a moment’s notice for a search and rescue on the snowy mountain peaks.

With all this said, we know you’re eager for Silverado to open. We are almost there! We are planning to open it this week, but we don’t want to commit to a specific day. Some east winds in the forecast could affect the chair, and we want to give our teams ample time to set up safely. So, long story short: Silverado is coming soon, and you should check the next day’s scheduled lifts each afternoon to see when we put it on the schedule.
