The PTCF Annual Auction is back and bigger than ever: reserved parking, Apex Club membership and retired trail signs, all in one place. Every bid supports local athletes.

Score a front-row parking spot, upgrade your season with the Apex Club, or bring home a trail sign with years of mountain stories behind it. Every bid goes straight back to local athletes.

What’s up for bid

Reserved Parking
Skip the morning parking scramble. Bid on your own reserved parking space at Palisades Tahoe for the 2026–27 season. It’s your own dedicated space, no Apex membership needed. Only [3] spots are available.

Apex Club

Bid on a Single Apex Club membership for the 2026–27 season, Palisades Tahoe’s premium program. Members get priority access at 12 participating lifts, from first chair to final lap. They have a slopeside home base at the Apex Lounge in The Village and a mid-mountain retreat at Oro Bar on Gold Coast, plus concierge-supported reservations at Granite Bistro. Membership also includes premium parking, concierge support and private member events all season long. The membership covers the member plus their dependents age 22 and under, and additional family members can be added for $8,000 each.

New this season, members get two complimentary Friends and Family Apex Day passes, designated premium parking at Alpine, and one complimentary day at Alterra’s premium clubs at Mammoth, Steamboat or Stratton.

Please note: Apex Club membership does not include a lift ticket or season pass. Members need valid mountain access through an Ikon Pass, season pass or lift ticket.

Retired Trail Signs
Take home a piece of the mountain. Eight authentic trail signs, recently retired from the slopes, are up for grabs: Lupine, Champs Elysées, Sunnyside, The Attic, High Voltage, Dog Leg, To Red Dog Face and To Shirley Lake. Each one is 8 feet of heavy-duty metal, shown as-is with real wear from years on the mountain. Bidding starts at $250.

Where your bid goes

Palisades Tahoe Community Foundation started in 2009, when a group of coaches had money left over from a team gathering and gave it straight back to athletes who needed it. That spirit hasn’t changed.

Today we support 90+ athletes every season and give out more than $80,000 each year. We’ve awarded over $1 million in scholarships since 2014, and 90% of donations stay within 45 miles of home. Your bid helps fuel the next generation of leaders, on the hill and off it.

How it works

Bidding opens October 21, 2026 at 9:00 AM PT and closes November 18, 2026 at 8:00 PM PT. Create a free Givebutter account to place bids, and you’ll get a notification if someone outbids you.
