Our update today is essentially the same as yesterday: Due to extremely high rates of snowfall and winds over 100 mph, all chairlifts at Alpine will be closed tomorrow, Saturday, March 2nd. On the Palisades side, we are going to attempt limited lower mountain operations, with Resort Chair, First Venture, Far East, and Red Dog. Tonight is supposed to bring the strongest band of the storm, so we expect to have a significant amount of recovery work to do in the morning. We have had essential personnel on-hill all day, performing control work, maintaining access roads, and digging out chairlifts, but based on current conditions, if we are able to open at all, there will be significant delays.
You should also expect regional impacts to our roadways. Please make use of the CalTrans QuickMap app if you have to drive. Additionally, the Park & Ride will not run tomorrow, and local TART bus service is canceled as well.
What will happen on Sunday? We don’t know yet. We’re certainly as eager as you are for fresh turns, but we have to put safety above all else. We will aim to release another update around 4pm on Saturday with information on what to expect for Sunday morning.
