New Terrain Opening Tomorrow

  • Dec 11, 2015
  • 5:39 pm

That 17″ in 24 hours was really, really fun today. Mother Nature delivered the goods and we were grinning ear to ear all day. 

Today’s Ops

Lifts opened a bit later than anticipated and this was due to the significant snowfall we received in a short period of time, as well as a rain layer that added some extra ice to our lifts. When this happens, our lift maintenance team has to go out early morning and remove the ice from lifts in order for these lifts to start spinning. That also requires Patrol to hike out to terrain, instead of using chairlifts, to do set up and avalanche control work. 

New Terrain Opening

Ahhh, the fun stuff. Siberia, Emigrant and Solitude are on the schedule for tomorrow. Our teams haven’t been out there so they are slated for a delayed opening at 11am. We’re shooting for a 9am start on Siberia. Alpine needs a couple more feet to open Scott and Sherwood, but we’re watching the weather intently. We should know more by Monday after this next storm cycles through. Your best resource on days like this is the Palisades Tahoe App. You’ll get up to the minute updates from our team (Dispatch). 

Winds tomorrow are expected to pick up in the afternoon with ANOTHER storm coming in. This is a good thing, because another 1-2 feet is very possible by Monday. Get the intimate details on weather here from our resident weather blogger, BA.

Sunrise Snowmaking at Palisades

Operations Blog: Snowmaking 101

When the autumn chill moves into the Tahoe region, those thoughts of impending winter start to creep back in. For our snowmaking department, this is when the season starts. Our snowmakers take a lot of pride in being the ones to kick off winter. The heavy anticipation of what's to come is ingrained in the work that they do. Once they've started making a significant amount of snow, other departments like Grooming can start work, too, and before you know it, winter has begun.

A Funitel cabin in low visibility during a winter storm.

Operations Blog: Funitel Haul Rope Project Updates

This summer, we will be replacing the haul rope on the Funitel. The haul rope is the main cable you see carrying cabins to and from the upper mountain. This project has been scheduled for over two years: it is a major and necessary maintenance project that requires significant advance planning. Crews from the lift manufacturer will be coming from Europe to assist with this project as well. We'll be posting updates to this blog each time something exciting happens with this project.
