Today’s Operations
Following yesterday’s incident, we have lost the access road to KT-22 due to avalanche debris. Access roads are required to get snowcats and snowmobiles up the mountain to spin the lift, and it requires a lot of work to put these roads in. With the heavy snowfall we saw overnight, we were not able to reestablish the road.
It will be a rigorous snow safety morning for both Palisades and Alpine today. Since both mountains closed just shy of 11am yesterday, it will take longer to assess all terrain and get everything open. Delays will be more significant than usual. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Please check our Lift & Trail Status page to see what is scheduled for today.
Yesterday’s Incident
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 10th, an avalanche occurred on the Palisades side of the resort, specifically in the GS gully area, to the skier’s right of the KT-22 chairlift. For more information about what happened, please visit our official statement page.
