The lift terminals and towers were still standing, with chairs dangling from their cables. The base buildings were unscathed, having been doused in flame-retardant gel. Most of the trees remained upright.<\/p>\n<p>But expert assessments have revealed significant damages to ski infrastructure and deep trauma to the landscape that will almost certainly change the character of Sierra\u2019s runs and the experience of skiing there. For an industry built into increasingly fire-prone forestlands, Sierra serves as a frightening case study in surviving a threat that seems to grow each year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wpss_copy\">READ MORE from: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/travel\/article\/sierra-at-tahoe-ski-Caldor-Fire-16598718.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/travel\/article\/sierra-at-tahoe-ski-Caldor-Fire-16598718.php<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cUnderneath this burnt landscape is a resort waiting to come out of the ground and be glorious again,\u201d Rice said. \u201cIt could be a whole bigger, better thing.
