Just when you thought the ski season was winding down, Palisades Tahoe received a delightful surprise! Fresh snow in April has turned the tide, making it the only resort still open in the Tahoe area. For many skiers and snowboarders, this unanticipated snowfall is a reason to dust off those boards and hit the slopes one last time.
Visitors from the Bay Area, like Terri Myers and Saul Levy, are soaking up this unexpected gift. They note that despite the conditions being a bit slushy in spots, they’re having the time of their lives gliding down the mountains. After months of dry weather in March, Palisades Tahoe’s Patrick Lacey reveals that the April flurries saved the season, and now they’re extending their operations longer than anyone anticipated.
With about a quarter of the mountain open and the top conditions still strong, it feels like a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Skiers can enjoy the rare experience of having the mountain almost to themselves, learning and improving while basking in the breathtaking views. Plus, the resort is sweetening the deal with discounts on lift tickets and accepting season passes from other resorts. So if you thought the season was over, it seems like winter just couldn’t resist one last dance!
