Ski lifts at the ski resort Palisades Tahoe

The two ski areas, Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows, are connected by the modern 8-seater Base to Base gondola with two mid-stations. All slopes are accessible by chairlifts. Most of the lifts are modern, detachable systems without weather covers. Two feeder lifts run from The Village at Palisades Tahoe to High Camp and Gold Coast. Conveyor belts are available for beginners and children.
