The Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup
Palisades Tahoe is no stranger to international competition. A renowned ski racing venue that has bred champions since the 1960 Winter Olympics, the resort’s legendary steeps will once again welcome back World Cup racers this winter. One of only four U.S. resorts featured on the World Cup circuit this season, Palisades Tahoe will host men’s slalom and giant slalom events on Dog Leg and Red Dog Face. The course, raced last year and in 2017 for the women’s alpine event, is one that Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin has described as “one of, if not the toughest” course venues on the women’s World Cup circuit.
Check out the course and the action from the Base Area, cheer on the world’s best male athletes, enjoy the free concerts Friday with the Black Jacket Symphony feat Marc Martel and Saturday with 220 KID, Eve6, and Ludacris, as well as fireworks at the KT Base Bar February 23-25, 2024.
