Palisades Tahoe

Up until the 1960 Winter Olympics, Palisades Tahoe (formerly known as the Squaw Valley) was a well-kept locals secret. The success of the first televised winter games catapulted the resort into the world’s imagination, and nearly 70 years later it continues to impress. Ski at Palisades and you will be skiing at one of California’s premier ski destinations. Originally two separate resorts, Olympic Valley combined with Alpine Meadows in 2011, to form Palisades Tahoe. Discover two mountains and one resort that offer 6000 acres of skiable terrain and a total of 240 runs. Both are blessed with a generous amount of snowfall, with the resort averaging 450 inches each season. Its not unheard of for the ski season to stretch into the summer months, but to experience it at its best we recommend you visit in Spring. This is perfect if you are looking for a ski holiday over the Easter period.

Olympic Valley

Given its Olympic pedigree, it should come as no surprise that Palisades draws an experienced crowd. Skiers and boarders come to test themselves on its extreme terrain. You will find plenty of bowls, chutes and groomed runs here. The village has plentiful ski in-ski out accommodation that includes hotel style rooms, studios and 1 & 2-bedroom condos.  Over 50 restaurants and bars, mean there’s plenty of choice when it comes to après ski too. Alpine Meadows Skiers and boarders looking to ski Alpine meadows have the option of taking a shuttle from the village or the new gondola. There is no accommodation on this mountain, but we can arrange options within a mile or two of the slopes. Given the number of ski resorts at Lake Tahoe and the resorts proximity to Mammoth Mountain, either option can easily be incorporated into a Californian snow safari. Alternatively you can combine your ski trip with a city break to Las Vegas, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
