Welcome to Palisades Tahoe.
More than one year ago, we came to the conclusion that it was time to change our name. The reasons were clear—the old name was derogatory and offensive. It did not stand for who we are or what we represent. And we could not in good conscience continue to use it. So we began a long and difficult process.
We spoke extensively to the local community, heavily researched local history, and went through countless rounds of creative exploration. We dug hard and deep to find a name and identity that would do justice to this place and its legacy.
No matter how far we pushed, we kept coming back to something close to our hearts. A place that has helped define not only our mountain and the people who call it home, but the sport itself.
We are very proud of our resort’s new name. It encompasses both of our mountains, captures the individuality of our people, and welcomes all guests to take part in our new chapter.
Our Logo
- Vital to both the history of Olympic Valley and the Washoe people, the Eagle is a legendary symbol of freedom that keeps watch over our valleys.
- We added our two mountains in a way that can also be read as eagle feathers or the waters of Lake Tahoe.
- The shapes reference the flat land and cliffs of the Palisades, while the wavelike forms exude the distinct vibes of California culture.
