Papoose Peak Jumps was a ski jumping hill at Palisades Tahoe in the US state of California. The hill had three jumps with K-points of 80, 60 and 40 meters respectively. It was built on the hillside of Little Papoose Peak for the 1960 Winter Olympics; the 80-meter hill hosted the ski jumping event and the 60-meter hill the Nordic combined event. The jump was designed by Heini Klopfer and opened in 1958. After the Olympics the venue had very little use; it was renovated for the 1976 US National Ski Jumping Championships, but falling into disrepair it was demolished to make room for the Far East Express ski lift.
