Ski season winding down in Lake Tahoe

By

Eight Tahoe ski resorts will be closing on Easter Sunday (April 20).

In case you hadn’t noticed, the ski season is winding down in Lake Tahoe.

It’s mid-April, so that shouldn’t come as a surprise to any skiers or snowboarders, since Tahoe ski season typically extends longer than many other U.S. ski areas.

This is the last major weekend for heading down the slopes at many Tahoe ski resorts. Eight of the 12 resorts will be shutting down on Easter Sunday, April 20. That leaves three Tahoe resorts with their slopes still open, and two of them – Sugar Bowl, Mt. Rose – have closing dates of April 27.

One Tahoe ski resort will again be offering skiing and riding into late May. In keeping with tradition, Palisades Tahoe is the last resort to run its lifts seven days a week (weather and conditions permitting), closing Memorial Day (May 26). The last day to ski the Alpine side of Palisades Tahoe is April 27.

The only other California ski resort open in May is Mammoth Mountain, which also has a Memorial Day closing date.

PALISADES TAHOE SPRING DEALS

The warm spring skiing temperatures in Tahoe often has daring skiers and riders abandoning traditional clothing.
  • First Responder Ticket for $75: To honor first responders (including firefighters, police, paramedics), Palisades Tahoe is saying thank you with a $75 lift ticket, valid seven days a week through the end of the season. An employment badge and ID are all that is required at the ticket window to claim this discounted ticket.
  • Spring Ticket Trio: The resort’s most flexible lift ticket package is back and valid any day through the end of the season. Ski any three days for just $152/day. Skiers and riders can use all three tickets themselves or share them with others.
  • Resort Employees and Passholders $75 Ticket: Valid seven days a week, other Tahoe ski resort employees and passholders may purchase a $75 lift ticket at the ticket windows. An ID and either a 2024-25 season pass or a recent pay stub with an employee season pass is all that’s needed to secure a lift ticket.
