North Tahoe Ski Resort Project Scaled Back. Here’s Why Advocates Say It’s Such a Big Deal - The Nevada Independent

PLACER COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 8 – The settlement reduces lodging units by 60% from the initial plan and cuts daily car trips by 38%, resolving a 14-year dispute over environmental impacts in Olympic Valley.

  • Owners of Palisades Tahoe reached a settlement today with conservation groups to scale back a controversial ski village expansion near Lake Tahoe.
  • The project faced a 14-year legal conflict after Placer County approved it in 2016, followed by a 2021 court ruling that found compliance violations under CEQA.
  • The agreement reduces planned lodging from the original 2,184 bedrooms in 2011 to 896 bedrooms and cuts commercial space by 20%, preserving sensitive areas as open space.
  • Conservation groups stated the settlement will lower daily vehicle trips by 38%, thus preventing additional traffic, pollution, and protecting Lake Tahoe’s environmental quality.
  • The resolution awaits Placer County approval and signals developers must consider environmental impacts while ending years of conflicts over Olympic Valley's development.
