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.
