Palisades Tahoe is famous for its tremendous snowfall and its California sunshine (yes, both are possible). From record-breaking midwinter storms to skiing and riding that can last well into July, snow often comes in abundance in the Sierra Nevada, followed, naturally, by blue skies and bottomless sun. To get the latest on our snowfall stats and weather forecasts, our current lift status, or to see what the top of the mountain looks like right now, look no further.
