The Resort Plans to Spin Lifts Starting Saturday, December 27, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – December 23, 2025 — The moment Sierra-at-Tahoe’s community has been waiting for is finally here. The resort plans to open for the 2025/26 winter season on Saturday, December 27, at 8:30 AM, with lifts spinning until 4:00 PM, conditions permitting.
After weeks of anticipation, a Christmas storm is set to deliver the goods just in time for opening day, with several feet of snow expected to fall at the mountain between Wednesday evening and Friday. Sierra plans to operate at least Easy Rider Express on Saturday, with additional lift and terrain details to be announced as the storm develops, and snow totals are confirmed.
“Our community has been incredibly patient as we’ve waited for winter to arrive, and we’re beyond excited to finally welcome the Sierra-at-Tahoe family back to the mountain for the 2025/26 season,” said General Manager and Vice President Dan Healy. “This season brings two new trails, our new mobile ordering system for dining and the return of what matters most—our Sierra family making memories together on the mountain.”
