Palisades Tahoe Shopping

Patagonia is a premier mountain gear outfitter, making it an excellent fit for the needs of skiers and snowboarders enjoying Olympic Valley. Offering every aspect of winter gear needed, Patagonia is known for their high-quality merchandise and longstanding durability. The shop carries gear for every sport possible in Lake Tahoe: skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, fly fishing, mountain biking and even surfing (an activity that is known to happen from time to time on Lake Tahoe). Another great bonus about Patagonia is that they give one percent of all of their sales to various nonprofits, so you know your dollar is doing something positive.
