"After a long stretch of sunny bluebird days, slushy laps, and expansive spring-like cruising, winter didn't just return, it roared back. We knew a storm cycle was coming, but few could have predicted just how much snow would stack up. What followed was one of the most impressive stretches of sustained snowfall we've seen in years, resetting the mountain in a way that only Tahoe can."
"Our Mountain Operations and Patrol teams have been working around the clock through the night and all throughout the day digging out lifts, performing avalanche mitigation, rebuilding access routes, and moving at the speed of safety to prepare terrain for all of us to enjoy. It's hard work in tough conditions. If you see someone from Ops or Ski Patrol this weekend, take a moment to say thank you. The conditions we're about to enjoy are a direct result of their relentless effort."
A powerful storm cycle delivered 9.6 feet of snow to Palisades Tahoe over four days, including 18 inches in the last 24 hours, lifting the season total to 278 inches. Central Sierra Snow Lab measurements place the Tahoe Basin at 104% of median snowfall to date. Parts of the region saw up to 10 feet of snow, revitalizing slopes and producing blower powder due to cold temperatures and high snow ratios. Mountain Operations and Ski Patrol have been working nonstop on avalanche mitigation, lifts, and access routes. Forecasters anticipate sustained winter weather, and parking reservations at Palisades Tahoe have sold out.
