Why do Legends Gravitate Towards Palisades Tahoe?

Palisades Tahoe is a place that’s been shaped and made special by its legends.

The legendary land; the legends of all the people who’ve called this special place home; Olympians past and present; the icons of freeskiing; and local legends. The legends of the past and present serve to inspire the legends of the future, too: skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels make the journey from around the world to admire, meet, and become legends in their own ways.

It’s a spirit that can not be found anywhere else and it has spread across both of our mountains. Some areas are tucked away, and the show is just for those putting it on. But the sense of freedom is just the same. Skiers of any level can find their own stage here. Palisades Tahoe has inspired countless skiers to push themselves to the limit — and in doing so has created a culture found nowhere else.

TGR Takes Center Stage at Palisades Tahoe

The 2022-23 winter season was one for the books. And Teton Gravity Research was here for all of the best moments. Maybe it was the 723″ of snow we received or maybe it was the same magical allure that draws in the best skiers and riders season after season. Whatever it might be, you just have to experience it for yourself.
