Last weekend, against all odds, the Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup (a stop on the Audi FIS Ski World Cup tour) took place in Olympic Valley. It was a nail-biter as record-breaking snow pummeled the region. Like magic, there was a 36-hour break in extreme winter weather in which the race was able to occur. The break in the weather wasn’t the only thing that made this event possible, though. The real story here is the incredible work of our operations teams, who were on the hill around-the-clock slipping and clearing the racecourse until the final moments before the Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup kicked off. Let’s look back at their heroic work, as well as the weekend’s events.
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) gave the go-ahead for The Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup to host the Giant Slalom and Slalom scheduled for February 24th-26th. As with every stop on the Audi FIS Ski World Cup, each mountain must pass “snow control” ahead of the races to ensure course quality for the racers. Palisades Tahoe has received 395 inches of snowfall this season and groomers and racecourse planners have been working on the closed course since February 10th.
The Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup, a stop on the Audi FIS Ski World Cup tour, will be at Palisades Tahoe from February 24th – 26th. This is an exciting major event to host at our mountain, and the course is currently being built on Red Dog. So much goes into building a race course — this is NOT just a run-of-the-mill grooming task. You should expect closures on both Red Dog and Exhibition throughout the week.
