Welcome to the 2024 Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup
Athletes, coaches, officials, support crew, volunteers, sponsors and spectators: it is my great privilege to welcome you back to our destination to watch the greatest athletes from around the world compete on legendary Red Dog.
Palisades Tahoe is steeped in a rich history of ski racing and for producing some of the world’s top athletes. As host of the 1960 Winter Olympics, the 2017 Women’s Audi FIS Ski World Cup, the very memorable
2023 Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup, more than one U.S. National Alpine Championship and an annual calendar of regional and local competitive events, we are proud to support competitive athletes at every level of their progression. A sincere thank you to the team at U.S. Ski and Snowboard and International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) for allowing us to host this prestigious event.
Thank you for being a part of the 2024 Stifel Palisades Tahoe Cup!

The Red Dog Challenge
The Legendary Red Dog Course
As described by Daron Rahlves
The challenge with this course terrain is the variety of flat, steep and fall away pitches that will test the world’s best FIS Alpine Ski racers. The flow down the mountain has a mix of direction changes.
Out of the start it will be full attack to build speed going into the top flat before the drop into Upper Dog Leg. This is a blind roll over onto a steep pitch with a compression below. It benches out then leads into a mini pitch heading into the lower dog leg with a bank on the skiers right. From there it feeds into the lower pitch that falls away to the right demanding a nice touch on the left ski and full power on the right footed turns. The hill tries to pull you to the right and it’s relentless down the bottom pitch to the finish.
