The Ikon Pass provides access to big mountain playgrounds around the globe. From Palisades Tahoe to Niseko United, Japan, passholders can explore world’s finest terrain, and enjoy exclusive perks. That gets even better for winter 24/25, with Sierra-at-Tahoe joining the list.

With small resort charm, challenging terrain, and abundant snowfall, Sierra-at-Tahoe is the perfect place for pure skiing and riding. A 2,212 vertical rise, 2,000 acres of terrain, and 400+ inches of average snowfall of snow give it big mountain cred. Cornices, cliffs, terrain parks, and a halfpipe challenge seasoned snow athletes. Backcountry gates let skiers and riders explore Tahoe’s outer limits. With Ikon Pass access this winter, visiting this Tahoe gem is easier than ever.

Ikon Pass provides access to some of the most widely recognized mountain destinations around the world that so many skiers and riders aspire to visit. We’re stoked to be among them.” 

Erik Forsell, Chief Marketing Officer, Alterra Mountain Company, commented: “We are excited to expand Ikon Pass access in California by offering even more in the Tahoe area.

Now, Ikon Pass holders have access to both sides of Lake Tahoe with Sierra-at-Tahoe and Palisades Tahoe.”

After a 32-year hiatus, the Regent hotel brand is making its return to the U.S. with the opening of the Regent Santa Monica Beach in Southern California.

The new resort features 167 guest rooms and suites, many of which boast sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Beach.

Going to Olympic National Park? This winterizing adjustment could affect your trip
Mount Olympic National Park makes plans to winterize. Here's what you need to know.

Olympic National Park crews are set to remove the temporary bridge on the North Shore Quinault Road on October 23, 2024. Installed during the summer of 2023, this temporary bridge was constructed to help mitigate the strain on a failing culvert located just north of the intersection between North Shore and South Shore Roads. Unfortunately, park crews have determined that it likely won’t hold up against the harsh winter weather conditions expected in the coming months.
What does this mean for fall and winter travelers to Olympic National Park?

The National Park Service (NPS) reports that this removal will temporarily split the Quinault Loop Drive into two separate out-and-back routes for the duration of the winter season. While this change will impact local travel, visitors can still reach the Graves Creek area by using the South Shore Road.
