Operations

After a small but exciting refresh of snow this week, we will be opening again on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for skiing and snowboarding. It will feel like spring out there, so get those boards and skis waxed, and come in costume: This weekend is Rodeo-themed. Our hours are still 9am-4pm, though that could change as soon as next week.

The Spring Skiing Capital will be open again this weekend, with lifts spinning 9am-4pm on Friday, May 6th, Saturday, May 7th, and Sunday, May 8th.

Palisades Tahoe will once again have Lake Tahoe’s longest winter season, with a new projected closing date of May 30th, 2022.

Who needs Miracle March with an April like this? A few weeks ago, we were getting ready to wrap up winter operations. Now we have more snow than sunny days ahead in the forecast. If the snowfall keeps up like this, we think we’ll be able to extend our closing date past May 1st!

Fresh snow is always good, and if we get enough, we will be able to extend the life of several lifts and runs. That said, please understand that these spring storms are not the equivalent of the snowfall we saw in the early season.

Just a few days ago we posted one of these blogs saying we were gearing up for summer. We knew we’d get a bit of …

The snow is melting rapidly, so lift closures are ahead — but don’t put those skis away just yet! We still have Snow Golf, Cushing Crossing and the FREE Spring Tracks concert with G. Love & DJ Logic coming up. Plus, you can enjoy fun spring on-mountain ski activities like the wiggles on Shirley or terrain park features on Gold Coast & Belmont.
