Best Spring Skiing in Lake Tahoe: Local Picks from Cole Mizak, Incline Village Real Estate Agent

As a longtime Incline Village realtor and local with Compass, I know the mountain seasons as well as I know the real estate market. And if you're thinking winter is the only time to ski Lake Tahoe, think again. Spring skiing is one of Tahoe's best-kept secrets: warmer temps, softer snow, and plenty of sunshine.

Here are my top spots for spring skiing around Lake Tahoe—along with why it matters if you're looking at Incline Village homes for sale.

1. Diamond Peak – Right in Incline Village
You can’t talk about spring skiing in Lake Tahoe without starting at Diamond Peak. It’s the hometown mountain, just minutes from most Incline Village homes for sale. The views of the lake are unbeatable, and the vibe is local and laid-back. Spring brings shorter lift lines, great groomers, and a deck at the base lodge that turns into a sunny social hub by noon. Diamond Peak's closing day is April 20, 2025, featuring tropical-themed festivities and a Golden Egg Hunt.

2. Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe – High Elevation = Longer Season
About 20 minutes from Incline Village, Mt. Rose has the highest base elevation in Tahoe. That means the snow sticks around longer, and spring skiing conditions hold up better here. Bonus: it’s an easy drive from the neighborhoods I show as an Incline Village real estate agent. Mark your calendar for their Pond Skim event on April 26, with the season wrapping up on April 27, 2025.

3. Palisades Tahoe – Big Mountain Spring Vibes
If you're up for a bit of a drive, Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley) offers the biggest spring skiing scene around. Expect costume days, live music, and snow that holds up through May. It's perfect for a day trip from Incline Village, and a great reminder of why so many buyers fall in love with Lake Tahoe. Palisades Tahoe boasts the longest season, staying open until May 26, 2025, with a packed spring event calendar.

4. Northstar California – Family-Friendly Spring Fun
Located on the North Shore, Northstar is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and upscale village. Spring skiing here is complemented by activities like live music, roller skating, and an Easter Egg Hunt. The resort's closing day is April 20, 2025, offering one last weekend of fun on the slopes.

Why Spring Skiing Matters When You're Buying in Incline Village Spring skiing is more than a fun bonus—it says a lot about the lifestyle here. When clients ask me what it's like to live in Incline Village, I tell them this: it’s waking up in April, grabbing a coffee, hitting the slopes, then biking the East Shore Trail all in one day.

As an Incline Village real estate agent, I help buyers not just find a house, but plug into a four-season lifestyle. Spring skiing is part of that, and it's why Incline Village homes for sale continue to draw people who want the full Lake Tahoe experience.

Ready to Make the Move? If you're dreaming of a home where world-class skiing, lake views, and vibrant community life converge, Incline Village is the place to be. As your dedicated Incline Village realtor, I'm here to guide you through every step of finding your perfect mountain retreat.
