On Highway 89 between Tahoe City and interstate 80; Palisades Tahoe is possibly the most well-known resort in all of California, and the setting for the 2006 book Squallywood. A complete skier's paradise, it is a magazine favorite for its varied terrain, huge size and massive high-speed lift system; and a former Olympic village. Its oversized reputation has a downside: crowds that even on a mountain the size of Olympic Valley can swamp the intermediate lifts and result in lines.
