7 Reasons to Book Slopeside Lodging This Winter

If there was ever a winter to get a condo at the base of the mountain, this is it.

Picture this: You wake up to fresh snow outside the window. But instead of bolting out of bed, searching for your gear all over the place, and shoveling out your buried car in an effort to hurry to the mountain, you leisurely make a cup of coffee. You check the snow report. When it’s time to go, you suit up, grab your skis or board, and walk out your door. Just like that, you’re at the lifts. No traffic. No parking. No hustle. No headache. That’s what it’s like when you’re staying slopeside at The Village at Palisades Tahoe. Need more reasons to stay at the mountain this winter? We’ve got seven of them.

1. You Can’t Beat the Convenience

With a crash pad at the base of the ski area, you aren’t hauling all of your gear across an icy parking lot to and from the lifts. You aren’t hoofing it back across that parking lot when you realize you forgot a glove or your season pass in the back of the car. And you’re not carrying your kids’ gear while luring them to walk just a little bit farther in their ski boots. Instead, you’re right there. Convenience is key when you stay steps from the lifts.

2. Easy Access to First Chair — At Either Mountain

You can sleep in longer than everyone else—and still nab first chair. Because you’re that close. With our new Base to Base Gondola, you get to eliminate the commute and the parking. You don’t even have to warm up your car (it will be parked in our heated underground lot anyways!) You can take a stunning 16-minute ride across the Sierra Crest and be at the base of Alpine in no time.

3. Get Your Own Private Space

The Village at Palisades Tahoe has accommodations of all sizes, made to fit every type of family or friend group. Whether you are looking for a Standard 1-bedroom unit or a 3-bedroom suite with a den, full kitchen, and a mountain view, we truly have something to offer everyone. Browse all of our room types to help find the space that’s right for you.

4. A Place to Retreat Midday

If you want to skip restaurant lines and order in for lunch, your place in The Village at Palisades Tahoe makes this super easy. Pick up food to go from the many dining options (including many with online ordering) and head back to the comfort of your own space. PRO TIP: All of our condos come with fully-equipped kitchens, too, so you can also whip up a hot lunch yourself, too!

5. Included Parking

Rest assured; you won’t have to deal with reserving a parking space during any of the holiday craze. Parking is included with all lodging reservations. Your license plate will be uploaded into our system and you won’t have to lift a finger. Store your car safely and safe that energy for the mountains!

6. Après Ski At Your Place

Don’t miss out on enjoying one of the best parts of ski culture: après ski. You’ll be so close to local favorites like Le Chamois (affectionately called “The Chammy” by those who hang out there) or hole-in-the-wall spots like The Slot Bar. Want something more low-key? Grab loaded tater tots and cocktails to go at the Auld Dubliner or a bottle of wine from Uncorked and bring it back to your place.

7. You Know What’s Happening at the Mountain

Staying in The Village at Palisades Tahoe means you’ll see what the weather, snow, and lifts are doing in real-time. If the mountain operations teams are still working on getting the lifts open on a storm day, you can hang out in your cozy studio until it’s go time. If the wind picks up and shuts down the upper mountain, you can pass the time in style. And you’ll have shops, restaurants, and all the amenities of Palisades just outside your door.
