Palisades Tahoe Extends Ski Season Into May After 81 Inches of April Snow

Palisades Tahoe ski resort, which had announced it would close by late April, says recent snowfall will allow it to remain open for several more weeks.

Overview

  • Palisades Tahoe says it will keep lifts running into early to mid-May with no set closing date as long as conditions hold.
  • This week’s storm added 11 inches, pushing the resort’s April snowfall to 81 inches after a snowless March.
  • The mountain is operating on a reduced footprint with roughly a quarter of terrain open, though coverage is stronger up high.
  • Palisades is the only resort still spinning lifts in the Tahoe area and is accepting other resorts’ season passes and discounting tickets to draw spring skiers.
  • A low-snow winter across the West shortened seasons and even brought moderate drought back to parts of California, while Mammoth targets operations through Memorial Day and Timberline plans a July 19 closure.
