Palisades Conditions

The Spring corn harvest has really been juicing lately, but when a snowflake popped into the forecast last night, I didn’t mind– though, as my friend said, I might be the only person in Tahoe who feels that way. Sun or snow, it’s a treat at this point, and this morning’s report dialed in the forecasted 6” received at Olympic Valley.

We started soon after the 9 am open, knowing any Southeast-facing aspects catching morning sun would already have a couple hours softening, which puts some classic corn routes in prime condition first thing.

Today’s conditions were a full-on spring slush hunting mission, from KT and Headwall to the Park and Sun Spot. The mountain took a bit to soften up with the cold temps last night and by late afternoon the warmer temps made spots in the sun rip!

Today was a fantastic day to be snowboarding at Alpine with the sunny skies and warm temperatures. It’s totally worth it to come up this week to the mountain to get those spring turns in and work on your google tan!

Spring has sprung at Palisades, making for a lovely day of warm weather, strong sunshine, and epic riding.

Today’s weather was sunny with a few clouds, temperatures in the 40s, and no wind, which meant it was the perfect spring skiing day to be up in Tahoe. It was definitely a blackout goggle day, and sunblock was obligatory.

Park season is on! The conditions were rocking today at Palisades Tahoe, from cold wintery snow in the Palisades and Mainline to sunny springtime laps in Gold Coast and Belmont’s newly built terrain parks. And the crews built out some awesome lines and features.

The conditions today were a classic dust on crust pow day, with 2”- 4” of cold wintery new snow from last night’s storm on a fast hard surface beneath. Upper mountain’s more filled conditions delivered fun pow riding at Palisades today. From Sun Bowl and C2, to watching a Chimney session, it was a ripping morning!

The conditions were awesome today, highlighting the amazing snowfall we received this month. From the pow stashes on the hikes to the wind filled in the bowls to the smooth velvety groomers, the conditions around Palisades were a wintery fun vibe today.

The conditions today were all-time miracle March, with over a foot of fresh snow, cold temps, and a bit of sun; it was midwinter pow day mode. The mountain was ripping, from the fast, untracked chutes and steeps of KT22, to the open bowls of Broken Arrow.
