@palisadesops In 60 years Skiing the Sierra, I have never run into lightning. Golfing? Many times but never skiing.

All lifts at Alpine and Palisades are currently on lightning hold. We are downloading via the Funitel and Tram at Palisades. We will update here as we know more on the cell moving through. Feel free to wait it out in base area lodges.

@rowdyamerican69 @barstoolsports That was not the result of an avalanche-face plant in very deep snow-thats the crazy part!
English

@barstoolsports That’s a hell of a spot. Pure situational awareness and zero hesitation. Also a reminder: if you’re in avy terrain without beacon, probe, shovel, and a partner who knows what they’re doing, you’re basically gambling with a loaded gun.

@palisadesops why are there flames shooting out the roof of of the high camp facility?

@jetdillo @CaltransDist3 We drove up along 50 last night and the amount of trees in the road and on the shoulder at lower elevations was incredible.
English

@MelanieHunterTV 50 was extremely well plowed last night and there was good visibility. A ton of downed trees and a few lines were down in the lower elevations. The chain control worker told us to “drive under 25mph and watch out for falling trees!”

#TMFR crews have been working jointly with NDF and the Slide Mountain Hand Crew to form a fire contingency line in Mitchell Canyon near Dog Valley in the event the #LoyaltonFire becomes a threat. Currently, good progress has been made on the wildfire. inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6975/
