Lake Tahoe Ski Resort Closing Days for 2025: What It Means for Locals, Visitors, and Homebuyers

By Cole Mizak, Lake Tahoe Realtor with Compass

If you're anything like me, you've been making the most of this snow season. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a full-time Tahoe local, knowing when the lifts stop spinning is key to planning those final powder days—and, if you're in the market, thinking ahead about Lake Tahoe homes for sale.

Here’s your quick guide to Lake Tahoe ski resort closing days for 2025, plus a few insights from a local Lake Tahoe real estate agent (that’s me) on how this seasonal shift impacts the housing market.

2025 Ski Resort Closing Dates (Projected)

These dates are always weather-dependent, but here’s what resorts are currently aiming for:

• Palisades Tahoe – May 26, 2025 (Memorial Day weekend if snow holds)

• Heavenly – April 27, 2025

• Northstar – April 20, 2025

• Kirkwood – April 20, 2025

• Sugar Bowl – April 13, 2025

• Boreal – Mid-April 2025 (TBD)

• Homewood – April 6, 2025

• Diamond Peak – April 13, 2025

• Mt. Rose – May 4, 2025

These dates can shift with spring storms or early melts, but this gives you a solid window to plan those last laps.

What Ski Season’s End Means for Tahoe Buyers and Sellers

As a longtime Lake Tahoe realtor, I see the same trend every year: once the snow starts melting, real estate activity picks up.

Here's why:

• Inventory increases – Sellers who’ve been holding off during winter start listing. This opens up new options for buyers browsing Lake Tahoe homes for sale.

• Access improves – With roads clear and homes no longer buried in snow, it’s easier to tour properties and get a true feel for neighborhoods.

• Rental opportunities rise – Buyers looking for vacation homes often lock in properties before summer to capture peak rental income season.

Whether you're considering buying a home near the slopes or listing your mountain cabin, spring is when momentum builds.
