Operations Update: January 25

  • Jan 24, 2017
  • 4:55 pm

The Palisades Tahoe Family is deeply saddened by the tragic event this morning, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends affected. The decision to operate Squaw Valley tomorrow was presented to the leadership of Squaw Valley Ski Patrol. Revealing incredible strength of character and resilience of the men and women of our world-class ski patrol team, our patrol leadership asked that we run the mountain and do so tomorrow in honor of Joe Zuiches. 

We want to give a huge thank you to our patrollers, groomers, lift mechanics and ALL mountain operations teams who make it possible for us enjoy these magnificent mountains. We thank you for working through this storm cycle that provided over 23 feet of snow in 23 days, and for every other storm cycle that allow us to ski and ride our favorite terrain. Give an operations team member a big high-five next time you see them on the slopes.

The Joe Zuiches Memorial Fund has been established and is available here through GoFundMe.

See what is on the schedule for tomorrow.

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.

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.
