[03-01-2025] Placer County, CA – Young Skier Injured in Snowmobile Collision at Palisades Tahoe

[03-01-2025] Young Skier Injured in Snowmobile Collision at Palisades TahoeA young skier was airlifted to a hospital after a collision with a snowmobile at Palisades Tahoe in Placer County on Saturday afternoon, March 1, 2025.

According to resort officials, the incident occurred around noon near the Big Blue lift, a popular area for beginner skiers and snowboarders. The injured child was a member of the resort’s Mighty Mites ski team, which consists of children ages 5 to 9.

Resort spokespersons confirmed that the skier suffered a leg injury and was transported from the top of the mountain to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno for treatment.

Witnesses described seeing the child being “dragged” by the snowmobile in a heavily trafficked area where multiple ski routes intersect, contributing to congestion during the busy weekend.

Palisades Tahoe officials stated they are in contact with the child’s family and are offering support. An investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing.

Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?

Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:

  • Check yourself for any injuries.
  • Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
  • Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
  • Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
  • Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
  • Seek immediate medical attention.
  • Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You

Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
