Palisades Tahoe are extremely busy this summer season and for many regular visitors to the resort the 22/23 season they will see a fresh make over. The largest change this coming winter will be the introduction of one of the longest gondolas in the country which will connect the two resorts from base village to base village. Uniting LegendsOne iconic destination, two distinctly different mountains now connected. It’s time to explore more.Four major projects are modernizing the ski experience and ushering in a new era of legendary adventures. In addition to the Base to Base Gondola, a lift connection more than 70 years in the making, this season will also include the highly anticipated opening of the new Red Dog lift, an expansion of the Funitel Plaza, the installation of automatic snowmaking systems at Alpine, and a massive renovation to the Alpine base area.
