“During the winter season, the hotel turns into a skiers’ and snowboarders’ paradise, with chairlift access to the premier mountain experi- ence at Palisades Tahoe,” Barton says. The hotel rooms are located in a tower just steps from the resort’s own ski lift, and offer accommodations like the fireplace suite, at 646 square feet, and the 1,057-square-foot two-level penthouse suite. The rooms have picture win- dows with mountain or valley views. Besides skiing, there are seasonal recreational activities such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, broomball, ice skating, sledding, winter arts and crafts and more. Warmer weather months offer activities like archery, guided bicycle rides, on-site fly fishing and access to nearby hiking, river and Lake Tahoe experiences like boating, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding.
