Northstar Highlands Gondola Experience

by peakslopecontent
Dec 2020 - 643 views

Northstar's Highlands Gondola services village condos and parking, offering direct mid-mountain access. But this pulse gondola uses fixed-grip cabins rather than the detachable grips found on a typical gondola, resulting in an experience that may surprise some first-time riders.

This lift tops out at the mid-mountain Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe and was built as part of the hotel development.

Ski Roundtop Opening Day and Week 1 of my 2020-2021 Season

by SixShooter32
Jan 2021 - 629 views

It is Christmas morning as I am writing this, and no presents could be better than knowing our ski season is off with a glorious start here at Roundtop Mountain Resort. The previous week we received natural snowfall which added to a base that was already laid by the snow-crew a few days prior. Nothing but crunchy corduroy and chopped but soft skied-out areas.

2020 has been a challenging year for all of us and I have also had to spend a lot of time recovering from surgery, thankfully we are near this year's end.

Thank you Santa, and Praise Ullr.

Industry Update: Squaw Valley Gets a Name Change

by peakslopecontent
Sep 2021 - 604 views

To go along with their new gondola connection, the two areas formerly known as Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows now have a new name: Palisades Tahoe. This name change comes in the wake of calls for businesses to remove emblems of past minority oppression, with the word “squaw” having been used as a slur against Indigenous North American women.

Officials say the name change was heavily influenced by the extreme terrain features the area is known for. Unsurprisingly, the move has been met with some controversy.

See Palisades Tahoe's full press release on the name change: https://www.palisadestahoe.com/new-name
