Après on Sun Decks & Outdoor Dining

There is only one way to do après at the Spring Skiing Capital and that’s with an ice-cold beverage on a sun deck or patio soaking up the California sunshine.

Terrain Parks

Terrain Parks are a crucial part of spring. We swap out features often and keep it fresh in all three of our terrain parks across both mountains: Tiegel at Alpine and Belmont or Gold Coast at Palisades.

Bike Paths

A paved, well-maintained path can take you between Palisades and Lake Tahoe. From the base area, you'll end up snaking along the river before reaching Tahoe City. Once in Tahoe City, you can also continue down the west shore of Lake Tahoe. You can even rent bikes from Parallel Mountain Sports.
