@alterramtnco @Deer_Valley What kind of capital improvements is Alterra undertaking at other company owned resorts this summer?

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

Nothing screams TRUE SOCIALIST like:

-A millionaire who owns 3 homes
-Arriving in a huge SUV
-To his private jet
-To fly out and give a paid speech
-On the evils of capitalism and fossil fuels

Am I right?

@sequoiagrove_ @TahoeWeather They don’t. They just won’t state it publicly.

@palisadesops How about an ops blog dedicated to B2B operations? It ran during a blizzard on Thursday, but not during the busiest weekend of the year. No shuttles either?

@palisadesops This is what happens when you oversell a product with limited capacity. Shame on you and what you are doing to this community.

[Tom Baird @Ski_KT22]

@matt_lorelli @palisadestahoe That sums it up perfectly

@palisadesops Little Joey wants to ski today. What happened to First Venture? Weekends only now?

@palisadesops Is it penny pinching season already? Why is Far East closing at 11 on a Saturday when parking is sold out?

@palisadesops Time for an Iconic Lift Upgrade on that circa 1989 Poma

@Jared_Carrabis Knee-jerk reaction. It was time to move on from Devers.

🚨This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.

Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react.

Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?

Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before.

Interviewer: And then the battle began?

Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything.

Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn't they help?

Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.

Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist?

Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.

Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans?

Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with.

Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America?

Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region.

@palisadesops Why are the webcams often restricted to a fixed position during adverse weather events? These are a great resource for assessing real-time conditions.
