Operations

This is the final stretch. We hope that you’ll be able to join us for these last three days of spring skiing at Palisades Tahoe. Temperatures have been on the cooler side for late May, which helps to preserve our snowpack, and we’ll likely have temperatures in the 60s through Monday. Here’s what to expect for the closing weekend of the 23/24 winter season:

We’re the only ski resort open in Lake Tahoe and there are still TEN DAYS to get your last turns in. We’re looking pretty good for the final stretch, but since it has been (and will continue to be) quite warm, we thought you’d want another update. Here’s our best guess for the end of the 23/24 season:

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:

As temperatures warm and snowmelt intensifies, our grooming teams are hard at work maintaining our existing snowpack with the goal of getting it to last as long as possible. This time of year, we tend to get a lot of questions about *how* grooming works. Here, we’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions to give you more insight into this exciting, challenging operational time in the season:

These warm temps sure are getting us excited for summer, but ski season isn’t over yet. At Alpine, we have a little over a week left in the season, while at Palisades, we plan to keep making turns through May 27th (Memorial Day). We want to ski everything as long as possible, so we’re not calling hard closure dates for most chairlifts. When it burns out, that’s when we’ll stop skiing it. Here is our best guess for what might happen.
