We want to share our love of the mountains forever.
So we decided to take a look in the mirror.
And we were reminded that our commitment to giving back is made possible by our guests. Without their support, our vision for the future of Palisades Tahoe would not be possible. We realized that as a resort, it’s our business to welcome people who share our love for their air, water, trees, and snow that make Palisades Tahoe unique. As a community, it’s our duty to preserve this place for generations to come. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to question everything we do, to never settle for “the way it is,” and to spread the word of empower our guests and our industry.
Here's where the journey has already taken us
