It is also interesting that Squaw team coaches got spiffy brand new uniforms, branded Squaw Valley, just last year. Unless they got. special contract with North Face, I am sure they are not about to dump a bunch of almost new North Face GoreTex jackets and pants just for the sake of the logo change, so probably the team administration was not in favor of the impending name change either.

In the scheme of the cost of this rebranding, in the millions?, a few hundred jackets is minimal.

Of course, but it is interesting that they still chose to order the uniforms last year AFTER they announced the name change.

 

[Andy Mink]

But the big question is, is Palisade Tahoe on the IKON pass? (Yes, it is.)

Palisade - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Yeah, maybe not as good of a name as it sounds. I know it's for the Palisades rock formation but history has other definitions.

 

[Andy Mink]

Name change specific conversation can be found here.

Logo looks like a tsunami evacuation route sign to me.

Haha

I thought so at first too but like the explanation they offered. Now I think of the eagle vs. cool looking cornice vs, tsunami. Already growing on me.

 

[Alexzn]

Logo isn't half bad (although gives a very 60's vibe). The name on the other hand...

Noticed this discount on the new PalisadesTahoe website. Since I'm a USAF vet and the $169 is trivial, plan to submit my DD214 then buy a pass. Have the EPIC Senior Tahoe Value Pass so already ski KW HV NS and will have ski club lodging in Kings Beach.

Fair chance of a brushing first fall cold front across the northern Sierra Nevada and Tahoe with some extremely needed rain late next Sunday afternoon.

We had some rain very early Sun. AM in Plymouth, CA in the Sierra foothills. Cool down was also nice as we went to 4 outdoor music events in 28 hrs. and it was warm enough Fri. eve until the sun set that you wanted to be in shade.

Does anyone know anyone who works/worked for Vail who may have unused employee vouchers from last season? They were good for half-price lift tickets and work for mountain biking at N*. I'd hoped to use the one I have to get my 91 year-old Mom up Heavenly's gondola, but their Summer season ended early due to fire. My friend who lives near Truckee that I will be staying with Wed. night could use one this Thurs. Season ends very soon and Vail does not allow these to be sold so they will be worthless soon. Will trade for a couple of good beers or a great Zin and could pickup between San Jose and Truckee tomorrow.

I'm from Europe and I'm looking to go skiing in the area around South Lake Tahoe. Hotels are looking very expensive in the winter there. Just wondering if people have any suggestions/tips where to stay? We (just the two of us) will be renting a car so happy to stay a bit away from the resorts.
