This is your go-to spot for the latest from the mountain. All spring and summer long, we’ll be sharing progress updates, photos, and milestones from Pajarito’s biggest infrastructure investment in the resort’s history — the Jemez Mountain Fire Protection Project and the improvements coming as a result of the consistent water to our snowmaking pond. From new snowmaking infrastructure to lift upgrades and maintenance, this is where you’ll see how the work is unfolding.
Bookmark it, check back often, and get ready for what’s coming this winter.
Power Up: Electrical Upgrades and Lift Season Prep
Electrical Upgrades
Work is underway on the mountain, and progress is happening! This week, we’re sharing the first round of photos from the electrical upgrades taking shape to support Pajarito’s expanded snowmaking infrastructure. New switchgear and transformer locations are being established to handle the significantly increased power demands that come with a bigger, more capable snowgun fleet. This isn’t glamorous work — it’s heavy iron and high voltage — but it’s the foundation everything else is built upon. No power, no snowguns. Getting this right is step one.
Lift Maintenance
Meanwhile, the lifts are getting their annual care. Grips and chairs have been tested and chairs are being migrated as part of the routine maintenance that keeps the little bird running season after season.
More updates coming as the project moves forward. Stay tuned.
