Our teams have been making snow whenever temps allow, and while we work toward our official opening day, that progress sets us up to open a limited beginner experience with carpet-only access starting this Saturday, December 6, along with beginner lessons and sightseeing on the Aerial Tram. We’ll share more details later this week as plans finalize—please check palisadestahoe.com for updates. We’ll continue to make snow at every location and at every opportunity that temperatures allow.
We’re eager to open more terrain as soon as conditions allow, and we appreciate your understanding of our reliance on Mother Nature. We’ll keep helping her out with snowmaking efforts and will provide additional terrain updates as they are confirmed.
