Summer operations will look slightly different than past years, with only Alpine Meadows open for 4th of July skiing and riding. This is due to a project at Palisades Tahoe. 

President and COO of Palisades Tahoe said, "Palisades Tahoe has been fortunate to receive an incredible amount of snowfall this season, covering our mountain in deep snow. Skiers and snowboarders have had an unforgettable time on both the groomed trails and the untouched snow pockets. We are immensely grateful for the iconic conditions and natural beauty that Mother Nature has gifted us with this season at Palisades Tahoe."

The resort will be replacing haul ropes on the funitel and said they can't change the date despite all this snow.
