Expanding on the success of our partnership with Palisades Tahoe, we are now offering a HALF DAY backcountry ski experience.

Our half-day groups will access the Tram Ridge Zone as it allows us to avoid using backcountry skis and boots. You can get a taste for backcountry skiing using your everyday resort setup.
