Winter has come early to the Sierra, and Palisades Tahoe is ready to celebrate in style! Thanks to recent snowfall and the hard work of their mountain operations team, Palisades Tahoe will open five days ahead of schedule on Friday, November 22, marking the official start of their 75th anniversary season. For those of us who dream of fresh powder and first tracks, this is an invitation too good to pass up.
Early Season Excitement and Special Offers
From 9 AM to 4 PM on November 22, both sides of the iconic mountain—Palisades and Alpine—will be ready to welcome skiers and snowboarders eager to kick off their season. To celebrate this milestone, Palisades Tahoe is offering $75 lift tickets from November 22 through November 27, perfect for early birds who want to get in on the action without breaking the bank.
But that’s not all. Opening day festivities promise a vibrant atmosphere with:
- Palisades Tahoe 75th Anniversary swag giveaways
- A live DJ to keep the energy high
- Complimentary breakfast burritos to fuel your morning runs
According to Amy Ohran, Chief Operating Officer of Palisades Tahoe, “We’re incredibly excited to kick off our 75th anniversary season early. This is a testament to the dedication of our team and the spirit of these legendary mountains. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the slopes and celebrate this historic season together.”
A Season to Remember
Celebrating 75 years of skiing and snowboarding excellence, Palisades Tahoe has long been a cornerstone of the Lake Tahoe experience. Known for hosting the 1960 Winter Olympics and training world-class athletes, the resort boasts 6,000 skiable acres across eight peaks, connected by the iconic Base to Base Gondola. With an average of 400 inches of annual snowfall, it’s no wonder Palisades is hailed as the Spring Skiing Capital®, staying open through Memorial Day.
If you’re as excited as I am to carve some early season turns, make sure to mark your calendar for November 22 and join in the festivities. This 75th anniversary season promises more than just exceptional skiing—it’s a celebration of decades of mountain adventure, innovation, and community spirit.
