All About the Winter Games This Weekend

  • Feb 8, 2018
  • 3:17 pm

From the slopes to the Village, the spirit of the Winter Games will be alive this weekend at Palisades Tahoe. Not only can you charge downhill just like your favorite Team USA skiers and snowboarders, but the Village will be brimming with excitement as we celebrate Squaw Valley’s legacy and cheer on this year’s competing athletes!

Meander through the Village for plenty of photo ops and to soak in the historic sites of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games held at Squaw Valley, or ride the Aerial Tram to the High Camp and learn more about this historic event at the Olympic Museum. 

Toyota Olympic Block Party 

The Jumbotron in the Funitel Plaza will be live streaming the Opening Ceremonies and Winter Games from Friday night through Tuesday. 

If you didn’t make it Pyeongchang this year, The Village at Squaw Valley is the next best place to watch the Winter Games. Don’t miss the Toyota Olympic Block Party on Saturday for live music, a Ski Team parade, poster signings, Q&A with Olympians Daron Rahlves & Travis Ganong, live coverage of the Men’s Downhill Finals and a fireworks show. The crowd will be fired up rooting for local Tahoe athlete Bryce Bennett as he goes for the Gold in the Men’s Downhill event!

Don’t forget to wear your most patriotic ensemble to show your support for Team USA – you could win Oakley goggles and lift tickets!

Operations Update: Season Extended Through 4th of July

It's going to be a summer to remember: We will be skiing and snowboarding at Alpine on the 4th of July. Yes, you read that correctly. We're keeping Alpine open through the 4th of July this year! This is different than the recent years when we've been open on the 4th. Typically, we run the Funitel at Palisades up to the upper mountain throughout the warmer months, but this year, we have a large project to complete on the Funitel that will prevent us from operating it past May 29th.

Photo Gallery: The Great Dig Out at Palisades

What a turbulent but exciting month March has been so far! The snow depth on our upper mountain is upward of 18 feet, and we are at 166% of total average snowfall. We started the first day of March off with 3 feet of snow in 24 hours. Then, after a small break in the weather, we received snow (and at some elevations rain) every day between March 5th and March 15th! Our season-to-date snowfall total is now sitting at 662 inches, or just over 55 FEET of snow. 14 of those feet have fallen in March alone!
