Palisades Tahoe Unveils Ultra-Exclusive Ski Club for $12,000
Palisades Tahoe is rolling out one of its most exclusive offerings yet with the debut of the Apex Club, a premium membership designed to upgrade every part of the ski experience. Limited to just 200 members, the program aims to streamline mountain access and add luxury touches throughout the day when it launches for the 2025–26 season.
Memberships start at $12,000 for those who enroll before December 11 and are valid from December 12, 2025 through April 12, 2026. The resort says the club is built around two private lounges, concierge support, priority lift lanes, and premium parking steps from the lifts.
The flagship Apex Lounge in Olympic Valley serves as the main gathering space from morning to late afternoon. Members can expect continental breakfast, a premium bar, a Bites & Flights menu, indoor and outdoor seating, personal storage, and private restrooms. A dedicated concierge team will help arrange reservations, lessons, gear needs, and more.
Mid-mountain at Gold Coast, a second lounge sits at 8,000 feet, offering handcrafted drinks, alpine-inspired dishes, and sweeping views. The indoor-outdoor layout makes it a cozy retreat during storms and a perfect perch on bluebird days.
Apex members gain access to staffed priority lanes on many of the resort’s busiest lifts, including Red Dog, Big Blue, Siberia, Granite Chief, and the Base to Base Gondola. KT-22 and Headwall Express are not included.
For non-members, Apex Daily Tickets provide access to lounges, priority lift lanes, and premium parking, starting at $800 per day with limited availability.
Palisades Tahoe says part of the program’s proceeds will support the resort’s Community Foundation, which funds youth outdoor access and environmental projects in Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows.
