While ski season awaits, Tahoe’s premier resorts are far from dormant. Summer and fall months reveal the region’s “secret season” of hidden charms, where snowy peaks transform into cascading waterfalls, vibrant wildflowers adorn the landscape, and warm days blend into cool nights. Activities abound, from scenic hikes and exhilarating bike rides to leisurely rounds of golf. Nestled within this picturesque setting is Everline Resort & Spa at Palisades Tahoe, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, and renowned as the third largest ski resort in North America. Naturally, this particular region is more than active in winter. But warmer weather brings out a different side of Everline, a side that offers a welcoming blend of natural beauty, adventure, and luxurious escape. Here are ten reasons to add the Olympic Valley resort to your wander list:
1. Everline’s expansive Oasis pool, comfortably heated year-round, is the resort’s focal point during secret season. Ample chaises lounge line a pool deck that is surrounded by shimmering aspens. Three whirlpools, a children’s pool, and a 90-foot waterslide are all complemented by poolside beverage service and surround-sound music.

2. A central activity lawn welcomes all ages from dawn to dusk with games like cornhole, giant Jenga, ping pong and chess. The lawn is especially welcoming in the late evening, as overhead lighting and nearby twinkle-lit evergreens illuminate the space.
3. Golf enthusiasts can challenge themselves at The Links at Everline, a championship course set at 6,200 feet elevation with stunning views of Palisades Tahoe. the par-71 championship course spans 6,931 yards and offers four different tee zones for all abilities.
