Join the SkiHawks at Palisades Tahoe

Formerly Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows

See the source image

Palisades Tahoe is the new name for the combined ski resort of Squaw Valley (now Olympic Valley) and Alpine Meadows.  

Olympic Valley, the setting for the 1960 Olympics, is known for its legendary steeps and lively village. Neighboring Alpine Meadows has its empty back bowls and unpretentious vibe. Both are blessed with tremendous amounts of snow and views of Lake Tahoe. The resorts boast a combined, 6,000 acres of skiable terrain, featuring 245 runs that are serviced by 34 lifts.


Despite being known for its challenging runs, there is plenty of terrain for all levels of skiers & boarders. 67% of the terrain is rated green and blue.


The Village at Olympic Valley serves up all of the must haves for après ski.  The village is where it's at,  offering everything from cold craft brews to sushi, with shopping, art galleries, ice skating and more.
