From Nov. 26th News Release...

[Olympic Valley, Calif.] November 26, 2014 – Palisades Tahoe is now open for the 2014-15 winter season. The Lake Tahoe resort today opened with five lifts for skiing and riding, along with snowtubing, scenic Aerial Tram rides, ice skating, yoga, shopping, and dining.

“It’s a fantastic day on the slopes here at Palisades Tahoe,” said Cara Whitley, chief marketing officer for Palisades Tahoe | Alpine Meadows. “We are so excited to be open for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, allowing skiers and riders to hit the slopes with family and friends.”
