Operations Update: Planning To Open Scott & KT-22 on Wednesday
We plan to add Scott at Alpine and KT-22 at Palisades to the schedule on Wednesday. A lot of work goes into prepping these two lifts, even with the help of recent snowfall. Patrol, Lift Operations, and Lift Maintenance teams will be working throughout the day tomorrow to set ropes, finish ramps, and work out any last-minute kinks in the chairlift. So while you may see these chairs spinning tomorrow, our opening goal is Wednesday. Please be aware that this could change if we find any issues with either chair tomorrow, or if the Wednesday storm brings weather impacts.

Operations Update: Summit Opens Tomorrow
Terrain expansion continues despite low snowfall. Summit will open tomorrow for the season! As always, all thanks go to the Mountain Operations teams who got this lift ready, especially Grooming, Lift Maintenance, Lift Operations, and Patrol.

These are what we call “low tide conditions,” so grooming will be minimal. We’re excited to have more terrain openings at Alpine, but we urge you to use caution and pay attention to signage.
