"In a way, Tahoe's winter competition agenda serves to amplify the aura created by the 1960 Winter Olympics at Palisades Tahoe (then known as Squaw Valley). The flame still burns, and the Olympic rings still reign at Palisades' Tower of Nations entrance on Highway 89, and the resort's many winter events continue to showcase former and future Olympic athletes. This is an Olympic year, and the energy is evident on the slopes,"
"The blue sky and blinding white snow are a dazzling continent away from the fog and gloom that so often characterize weather in California's lowlands at this time of year. Sure, it's exciting and inspiring to watch the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on television, but it's even more exciting and inspiring to watch similar events live at Lake Tahoe and you don't have to know an ollie from a cork 180 to be absolutely awed."
Bluebird winter days at Lake Tahoe contrast sharply with California lowland fog and offer dazzling blue skies and blinding white snow. Olympic heritage from the 1960 Winter Games at Palisades Tahoe endures, with the flame and Olympic rings still prominent and many events showcasing former and future Olympic athletes. Ski California reports strong athlete representation and energy on the slopes during Olympic years. Visitors can watch high-level alpine ski and snowboard competitions live without needing to know technical tricks. Tahoe resorts host major events through the season that attract spectators and amplify the region's winter-sports atmosphere.
