Yes, but they never updated the website to match. There were many places on the website all along where they referred to the OV side as Palisades and the other as Alpine or Alpine Meadows. Like the trail maps - I don't think the trail map page ever said OV and Alpine for the two maps, for instance. So I don't think they tried too hard, or tried well.
O, they completely F'd up. I posted, in the resort renaming thread, screenshots of the inconsistencies between their naming of the whole resort vs the "Pali" side. What transpires, to be honest, is a disdain for the Alpine side, which has always been treated as the
little broda. Alpine, like "the other side", as an area called Palisades. So, if that is the name for the conglomerate, that was the name to choose.
The rest is history, there were 100 potentially good names - but they couldn't get
that right. I really think AI should replace, at least many of us. I can't believe chatGPT wouldn't have come with a better decision. Or, a better post than this one, if we are going to be sassy
