Yeah, good stuff. Family finally decided to head up with me. Lift stopped as we were heading to the line. PSE is painful.

What would you like PSE to do?
Fix global warming or put all the distribution underground?
Wtf people….

Fixing global warming would be a good start then bury the cables.Quote:

Pretty much. The climate is changing, period. Whether we sped up that change people can debate. The world is yin and yang so I’m a yes on that debate.Quote:

Good morning and happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! It looks to be another nice weather day up at the pass. While we continue to struggle with less than a Partial Supply of Energy from our local utility, we will be operating in a limited fashion today, see updates below.
Ah. Maybe because cascade traverse was closed and that’s when 2 opened. Snow was much better up top. International was closed so lots of people lapping chair 2. Patrol was busy with all the beginner/intermediates on icy Debbie’s most of the morning so they likely shifted over to Sessel to avoid.Quote:

I am happy to at least have global warming to blame.
Also do that is the tail end of lesson lunch so given the crappy conditions all the lesson families were inside eating and catching covid.Quote:

So far, that's 3 of my 5 lift served ski days affected by power outages. Shit happens but this seems like it's kind of ridiculous.
Anyway, a nice mellow Sunday regardless.

Bunch of sissys and whiny butts in this thread. Yes the power went out but I'm kind of a fan of it when 95 percent of the skiers(bogeys) bail and you get Armstrong to yourself. For those saying they should run the power underground you do realize that we're talking about underground utilities in the mountains have fun digging through granite. Which one of you are gonna step up and pay for relocation of all the lines? Show up pay your nickel and be grateful for what you get.

FWIW, PSE will go as low as 2' cover for transmission lines, if necessary. Which will work just fine going through the cascades.Quote:

All that said, I was mostly being tongue in cheek, and I look at power outages the same way I look at driving up on 50/50 rain/snow days. Pay your nickel and take your chances. NBD if you turn back around, it's less than an hour driving one-way foremost of us.
Oh big big boom at around 415 430 yesterday up top. Maybe Snoq can fill us in on what that was about

It was PSE mining thru the Denny granite to run transmission lines.Quote:
