By utilizing the extensive lift system of Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort, we can quickly access incredible terrain and get more skiing and riding in.

In this program, we ski in three distinct zones: Tram Ridge, Nat Geo Bowl and Munchkins. For the first time, this terrain can now be ridden with a guide, opening up lift-accessed riding for skiers and snowboarders and requiring less uphill travel than a normal day touring.

Each group is private with their own guide. This means you know your group’s pace, skier or rider ability, and allows for an individually tailored day.

Technical

Must be an advanced intermediate skier/rider that is competent on and off-piste terrain in a variety of conditions. Should feel comfortable on all blue runs and most black diamond runs at a ski resort.
