Yesterday afternoon I took my first Pali chairlift ride of the season. I think I sound like a broken record, but that last storm was really good to us over there. The Ski Patrol has been all over Slalom Slope and much of the North Side. There have been a couple of small slides on Pali, one naturally on The Face, and one triggered with explosives on Main Street. So............... I know the next question is "When?". Each year conditions are a little different. Most commonly, we first open Cornice West Wall and Slalom Slope from the Summit. Opening Pali Lift tends to follow not too long afterwards. We will be watching this next storm very carefully. One storm? Two storms? Time will tell.
