Palisades Tahoe

The 1960 Olympic mountain, still the Sierra's flagship ski resort.

Six thousand acres across two mountains, terrain from groomers to the legendary KT-22 steeps, and a village with enough off-snow life to keep non-skiers busy.

Editor's note

In summer, the aerial tram to High Camp is the best cheap thrill at the lake, pool, views, and all.
