So is Palisades a particular area at one of the resorts?
It's good that they changed it but my first reaction is that it sounds like such a bland corporate name, like a housing or condo development.
I side slipped into one of the Palisades chutes a few years ago (my first time), and completely froze for a looooooong time, like, really embarrassingly long. After I made my first turn, it was like 3 more quick turns and then done.Well what I was thinking was everyone is going to want to ski the hike to Palisades area, and believe me, everyone cannot ski that terrain........ Just watch a Warren Miller film.
In my defense, I had lost a ski on my immediate prior run on an intermediate slope, and when I had my alignment checked after this run, it was off by 1.5° on one side, which was contributing to my not being able to make right turns and losing my left ski all season.
