Thursday June 30 update.

There has been damage to lifts, all repairable in our estimate so far. No major structures burned, even Aspen House at the top of the Triple chair is OK so far. Trees and grass burned on east, west sides and top ridgeline in places. Some damage to Camp May and Canada Bonita. Most of the mountain still green and lovely thanks to post Cerro Grande thinning and superhero firefighting!!

Chair 1, the Lone Spruce lift, had the most damage with the top unloading ramp and operator building burned, cable went to the ground.


But we believe all damaged parts (including the lift cable) can be replaced even though Riblet Trams no longer manufactures this lift type. The cable for example is generic, and can be replaced.

Hundreds of new Facebook friends over the past few days, and many pledging volunteer labor to help us clean up after the fire. We need all types of volunteers, not all hard labor but also paperwork and food service for volunteers, supervisors, etc. We were built largely with volunteers, and trust this wonderful skier (and biker) community to help us re-build.

This blog

First of all, I want it to be known that this is a community blog. Anything posted here is for informational and record keeping purposes. This will serve as a community journal and will be available in book format once it is completed, compiled and ready to go. I am a scrapbooker by nature and not having taken some of the incredibly detailed shots of this experience has encouraged me to seek out to others who are willing to share their experiences and photographs so that we can preserve the for ourselves and our children.

So, that being said, if you have pictures, accounts, details or thoughts about the Las Conchas Fire, please e-mail them to lasconchasfire@yahoo.com and I will post them here. Please credit the photographer if the picture is not your own. I would love to be able to present the Fire Department with a completed book of this experience when all is said and done! Thank you for your support and stay safe!
