PARKING BASICS
For the 2025-2026 winter season, our Park Palisade Tahoe's parking program will remain the same as last year. Reserve 'N Ski parking reservations will be required on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and during peak holiday periods. The majority of parking will continue to be free, but guests must reserve their spot in advance. Free reservations will be released each Tuesday at 12 PM and 7 PM for the upcoming weekend. For those who prefer to plan ahead, advance paid reservations are available for $30 per day. This program has resulted in real and significant improvements to our operations, increased carpooling and alternative transit adoption, measurable positive environmental impacts, and benefits to our community that extend beyond our skiing and riding guests.
