Farther north, at Palisades Tahoe, the resort has received more than 8½ feet of snow since Jan. 1, and more is on the way. Palisades Tahoe Cars are buried under snow at Palisades Tahoe, which has received over 8½ feet of snow since Jan. 1 and a season total of 300 inches. Skiers board a chair lift to take advantage of the Palisades Tahoe snow.
