Operations Update: Hours of Operation are Changing
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:

Lake Tahoe Snowpocalypse: Photos & Videos from Palisades Tahoe
This past weekend, the Lake Tahoe region was pummeled by the biggest storm of the 2023-24 season. The storm brought more than eight feet of snow to the upper mountains at Palisades Tahoe, resulting in three consecutive closure days as resort staff worked to recover from the extreme weather event. It has been a harrowing, exciting five-day period, full of pre-storm anticipation, awe at mother nature’s power, and many sore muscles from shoveling.
Operations Update: Operating Plan for Monday, March 4th
Palisades Tahoe plans to open tomorrow, Monday, March 4th. It is our goal to have a few lifts going at both mountains by 9am, but this is not a guarantee. We have to see what happens overnight, and delays are always possible.
Operations Update: Aiming for 12pm Opening Tomorrow
We are going to do our very best to get chairlifts spinning tomorrow, and we will be aiming for a delayed opening time of 10:30am. Our teams have been playing catchup the past two days, but there is still a lot of work to do. We will be digging out for the foreseeable future. If you read our snow report today, you probably noticed that the snow numbers seemed low. We only reported 14 inches at 5am. In reality, we have received a lot more snow than this, but intense winds have scoured our plots (Winds on Siberia got over 190mph last night). This also means that there are very, very deep wind drifts across both mountains.
Operations Update: Alpine Closed Saturday; Palisades to Attempt Limited Operations
Our update today is essentially the same as yesterday: Due to extremely high rates of snowfall and winds over 100 mph, all chairlifts at Alpine will be closed tomorrow, Saturday, March 2nd. On the Palisades side, we are going to attempt limited lower mountain operations, with Resort Chair, First Venture, Far East, and Red Dog. Tonight is supposed to bring the strongest band of the storm, so we expect to have a significant amount of recovery work to do in the morning. We have had essential personnel on-hill all day, performing control work, maintaining access roads, and digging out chairlifts, but based on current conditions, if we are able to open at all, there will be significant delays.
