Opening Day

9:00 AM — 4:00 PM
When the temperatures drop, feelings arise.
You may have been enjoying a well-earned offseason, but we all know what’s really been on your mind.
Those first flakes. That first storm. The first glimpse of snowy-covered peaks. And that unmistakable feeling that winter is finally on its way back.
So mark your calendar and get the shred sticks ready. Opening Day is November 25, 2026, and it’s time to get back to the thing we love most.
Opening Day at Palisades Tahoe is more than the first chair of the season. It’s a celebration of skiing and riding, this mountain community, and the experiences we return for season after season. It’s seeing familiar faces in the lift line, clicking back into your skis or board, and looking up at the eight legendary peaks surrounding you knowing an entire winter of possibility is ahead.
Soon, the lifts will spin and we'll be back gliding on snow. The mountain missed you. Time to layer up.
Welcome Back to Winter.
Opening Day operations, including available lifts and terrain, are weather and conditions permitting. More details on mountain operations, Opening Day festivities, and what to expect will be announced as November 25 approaches.
