End of the 2012 season. West face slid to the ground. Totally blocked High Road.
Same season. Skied Poulsen's Gully after it slid. Looked like jumbled office furniture. Steel desk and filing cabinets. All jagged corners. Not fun.

Thought I had a photo of it crossing the run but this another huge March crown face from Palisades (which could mean Chimney chute or anywhere in the ski area above Olympic Valley
)...

Skiing avalanche debris is no fun
This interesting and quite smart on the part of both the tribe and Palisades Tahoe.
It’s a PR event. Nothing more, nothing less. Those who mourn the old name will continue to mourn it, those who thought it had to change got their wish. The tribe hardly got anything out of it. New name, business as usual.
No plans to do that at this point.@Alexzn, so when are you going to change the name of your website?
I ski Squaw a lot but don’t know what the h*** to call the place. Have we settled on anything here ?
So now that the B to B gondola is up and running is the whole place called Palisades Tahoe? Or is that just the side formerly known as Squaw ? ? ? . How do we differentiate this side from the Alpine Meadows side? I’ve only skied it for 40 years.

Ha, I think just like most things on the mtn there are several names and you'll have to pick it up by context.
I think though they weren't pushing so hard to be sticklers on new names, just as long as they get away from the old one and pivot based on user acceptance.
Based on the ops tweets as well as the app name changes though, seems like "Olympic" or "village" is somewhat abandoned and the community is settling in on Palisades side and Alpine side.
Even though there are 2 ski runs already named Palisade, and the resort as a whole is Palisades Tahoe, you'll have to figure it out by context
It's a little like how people figure out "gold coast" in conversation could actually mean the lift station, the lodge that has the ARC, or the named run.

Yep I was thinking Palasades side. But it’s in flux !
Pali Valli & Pali Meadows 
On their own website …on the lifts and trails update page … they differentiate it as Palisades and Alpine. So, I’m rolling with that.
No! Alpine Meadows forever!Pali Valli & Pali Meadows
Basically
