"The self-proclaimed title spring skiing capital is well-earned at Palisades Tahoe, since the runs here are open into May. Enter the latest slope-side craze: disco tubing. Flashing lights, lasers, and a live DJ set the mood for as many rides down the neon lanes as you can fit into 55 minutes (5pm to 7pm on select dates)."
"The spring event that makes the biggest splash at Palisades, though, is its version of pond skimming. The 34th annual Cushing Crossing is set for Saturday, May 2nd. While most resorts shovel out the slush for makeshift ponds, Palisades already has an 80-footer under the KT-22 lift. It's cold and murky and seems to eat skiers and boarders for lunch."
"Diamond Peak may be on the smallish side, with only some 655 acres and 1,840 vertical feet of terrain, but this community-owned resort knows how to party. Its innovative Last Tracks program, which combines a weekly wine tasting event at the mid-mountain Snowflake Lodge with stunning lake views and an after-hours run down a freshly groomed trail, sells out early."
California ski resorts capitalize on spring conditions with creative events and activities. Palisades Tahoe extends operations into May and features disco tubing with DJ entertainment, while its sister resort Alpine hosts a 40-hole snow golf tournament. Palisades' signature event is the 34th annual Cushing Crossing pond skimming competition, held on an existing 80-foot pond beneath the KT-22 lift, where participants earn points for style and successfully crossing without sinking. Diamond Peak, a smaller community-owned resort, offers innovative experiences like Last Tracks, combining wine tastings at mid-mountain with groomed evening runs. Abundant Sierra snowfall this winter ensures plentiful snow for spring skiing across multiple resorts.
