Always optimistic, Cushing contented himself relaxing on the sundeck and watching other skiers. While there, he heard a young man named Wayne Poulsen speak of a nearby place with the best skiing in the country. Intrigued by the claim, Cushing asked to see this place. However, the announcement of the bid stirred so much excitement that Cushing saw the real potential of hosting the Olympic Games.
In the resort changed its name to Palisades Tahoe , trading in a harmful slur for a name that better reflects its values and legacy. Palisades Tahoe continues to inspire all of those who happen upon her majestic peaks—just as she once inspired one man to do the impossible. Reily stood at the top of KT and peered south. He saw an untouched valley, surrounded by snow-covered peaks, and thought: That looks like the perfect place for a ski area.
In fact, the area he spotted surrounding Ward Peak had four diverse bowls stretched along a high-alpine ridgeline, with a sustained vertical drop of over 1, feet. He showed the terrain to the south to his son and again envisioned what was possible there, especially with the momentum surrounding the Olympics now coming to the region.
Reily applied for a permit with the U. Forest Service, which granted him approval to develop an access road into the valley and install a chairlift, T-bar, and rope tow. A number of families and San Francisco-based investors pooled resources to develop the resort and Reily hired Peter Klaussen, a former Polaroid executive, to help build and operate the ski area. Keep thinking when I get back to Meadows, I'll be board!
But not the case When upper mountain is open it is exceptional and extends the runs significantly. When Heather Canyon and Clark are open it's far superior to any mountain out there! In Utah and Whistler have family at both locations they don't even ski there on the weekends.
If you arrive at Meadows early, you can always get into the parking lot. I just love the double black diamond runs and think it's a super fun mountain!

Snow depth and operations vary season to season.
Some seasons Meadows previewed just its Buttercup lift, other seasons three or more High Speed Quad chairlifts operated on opening day. Meadows has rarely opened the lower mountain Hood River Meadows on opening day, as it usually takes longer to build up the snowpack at that elevation. A look at historical season snowfall records show there is no correlation between the opening date and how much snow falls that season.
