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.

Errol Kerr skiing at Alpine in the spring.

Operations Update: Season Extended Through 4th of July

It's going to be a summer to remember: We will be skiing and snowboarding at Alpine on the 4th of July. Yes, you read that correctly. We're keeping Alpine open through the 4th of July this year! This is different than the recent years when we've been open on the 4th. Typically, we run the Funitel at Palisades up to the upper mountain throughout the warmer months, but this year, we have a large project to complete on the Funitel that will prevent us from operating it past May 29th.

Operations Update: Wednesday Re-Opening Plans

Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 15th, we plan to reopen both Alpine and Palisades. We appreciate your patience with us being closed today: Our teams NEEDED this day to try to get ahead a bit, and snow conditions are not conducive to a good day of skiing -- It rained as far up as 9,000 feet at times. We spent the day continuing to dig out, performing snow safety, addressing flood zones, and preparing for the few days ahead that have a break in the weather. Tomorrow, we still expect that some of our lifts will be delayed. We will start with a lower mountain offering and expand throughout the day as we can.
