Fantastic March at Alyeska Resort!

The Lead lift operators did a ski around a couple of weeks ago, just to make sure everyone is on the same page.

 It was good for the team.

Norman was stoked to run lift 1 for the last night of night operations.

 Super Grover (Shawn) was also on the scene!

 We had an end-of-night ops torchlight parade. It was super fun.

Then we had some serious snow days. On Tuesday, we had about 4 feet of fresh pow AND sunshine!

 The North Face was skiing great!

A bit of a sundog indicates more weather or the horizon.

Great visibility on the North Face.

The bear statue at the hotel has some snow on him. Life's been good.

Ted's Express has been a wonderful addition to Alyeska Resort's fleet of lifts.

Lift Ops Training

Lift ops crew was busy getting trained up this past week.

Putting the sign up at the base of the Magic Carpet.  An annual event.

Getting ready for our first ride up Ted's Express!

Heading up the brand new lift.

Almost to the base of lift 6 in less than 5 minutes!

Electricians, Brad and Eric, have been connecting the mountains lights to the towers. The new lights strike significantly faster than the old ones.

Checking out the new "Jettway" that bypasses the base of lift 6.

Unloading at the top in just about 5 minutes!

What a nice looking lift!
