Fantastic terrain with too many lifts to count (but each slightly awkwardly placed on the Olympic Valley side). Unmatched expert terrain with very variable openings dictated by wind.

I love Palisades. Its super fun and lots of different runs. My dad and I race each other around the mountain and its a great time. Lots of different runs for different levels. The food and drinks are great but pricey. Lift tickets are also pricey but worth it. Great mountain. And you can take the gondola to ski Alpine Meadows so its a 2 for 1!!
