Palisades Tahoe: Blue skies, warm weather, unbelievable spring skiing
Briefly

Palisades Tahoe, celebrating 75 years since its opening in 1949 and the notable hosting of the 1960 Winter Olympics, emphasizes its role as the 'spring skiing capital'. It remains one of the few ski areas still operating late into the season, thanks to advanced snowmaking and grooming technology. The resort’s veteran team utilizes high-tech tools to enhance skiing conditions, ensuring optimal slope surfaces. The season culminates with the fun and festive Cushing Crossing, showcasing creativity and community spirit through playful pond skimming.
"Opened back in 1949...of course, hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics, which truly put this resort and Lake Tahoe skiing on the map."
"We are the spring skiing capital. We are one of, I believe, just two ski areas left in California, if not the whole country that is still operating."
"The snowmaking that starts us off in the season that gets us going...allows us to achieve the right product and in the right volume."
"Strap skis on, get a helmet on for safety...just in case you don't make it across it. Pray that you're going to make it across at the right balance and the right speed."
