Palisades Tahoe - Community Reviews & Ratings

Palisades still holds the crown amongs resorts in Tahoe. It has lots of great off-slope/mogul terrain, keeping things interesting. The resort has slopes for everyone from beginner to expert and the recent connection to Alpine adds a wealth of slopes that provides enough skiing for multiple days. As an expert skiier, particularly when a recent snow storm hits, Palisades is an amazing resorts. Just watch out for traffic & highway closures getting there. Unfortunately, as with many resorts in the US, food options are mediocre, accomodation options are limited and pricey, and overall value for money is not great unless you have a season pass.

Good runs, unfortunately, the staff attitude (and the rider attitude) is very off-putting. In addition, the atmosphere in the ski patrol is totally toxic, both in the professional section and the volunteer (national) section. This toxic atmosphere cause an exodus of good patrol people who couldn't stand the atmosphere. This exodus severely impairs the quality of first aid. Beware!

Palisades Tahoe is a top-tier ski resort with diverse terrain, excellent amenities, and stunning scenery. However, potential visitors should be prepared for possible crowding, heavy traffic driving to the mountain, and wind holds. Overall, it remains a must-visit destination for skiing enthusiasts and families alike.

We loved Palisades! Hit Heavenly and then Palisades on the trip with my 14 year old son. Awesome terrain and conditions. Took the tram from Heavenly- pretty cool option. Lake Tahoe is beautiful as well.

Owned a house on the access road Alpine Meadow for many years before it change to the palisades at Tahoe. It was my favorite place to ski it has great terrain and a laidback atmosphere. People are friendly and accommodating! Take a vacation there and you wont be disappointed!

Favourite ski resort for spring skiing. Always lots of snow, warm, and sunny. Never have to wait in line for lifts. Super friendly staff and they are very knowledgeable about the mountain.

Love this ski resort; only wish they would have kept the previous name......Great area in summer and winter. Receives a TON of snow annually, hopefully you have 4 wheel drive

Loved palisades was a great mountain. It does seem more so a ski restart rather than snowboard but was still amazing

I grew up skiing here and will always be my favorite mountain. The last few years the snow hasn't been great, and with windy conditions many of the chairs have been unable to operate. When there's good snow, lots of steep runs that are excellent. However on a crummy day, there aren't a ton of long groomers, so you end up waiting in line a lot.

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.
