SKI RESORTS & LODGES · SINCE 1965
Hot rubberized crack sealing for Ski Resorts & Lodges.
Resort pavement works harder than any other pavement in the region and gets almost no window to recover. Call (530) 587-4161.
What the work involves
Cracks get cleaned out and filled with hot rubberized sealant that stays flexible through the freeze and thaw cycles. It is the highest-value pavement work at this elevation, because it stops water before water becomes ice inside your pavement.
Why it matters for ski resorts & lodges
Day lots, employee lots, service yards, and lodge frontage take plows, chains, and surge traffic all winter, then have to look presentable for a summer season that is now a real business.
For resort properties, the annual crack pass is the highest-value line in the budget. Every winter opens something new, and every opening left alone gets bigger.
How the job runs
Not every crack is worth sealing and we will say which. Hairlines get handled by a sealcoat. Openings from about a quarter inch to an inch are the sweet spot. Anything spread into a connected web is telling you about the base, and that is a different conversation.
Resorts do best working in phases around the summer operating calendar, with large lots sectioned so events and bike operations keep running.
Why it matters at this elevation
Crack sealing is the cheapest insurance in mountain pavement maintenance. The damage that finishes pavement off happens in the base, under the asphalt, and the base gets wet through cracks. Closing them with flexible hot rubber keeps the water out through a season of freezing and thawing.
What a job usually looks like
A resort season usually opens with crack work across the big lots, because those long working cracks feed snowmelt into the base for half the year. Surface and markings follow once the pavement is genuinely dry.
Resort work is sequenced around the summer operating calendar, lot by lot, so bike operations, events, and construction traffic keep moving. Large properties often split the network across seasons on a planned rotation.

Questions
Do you handle the whole job or subcontract it?
Our own crew does the work. Four people with a great deal of Sierra pavement between them, out of the Truckee yard. That is also why the schedule is finite and why booking early matters.
What if the weather turns on my scheduled day?
We reschedule. Sealer needs dry pavement and dry hours behind it, and mountain thunderstorms are a fact of July and August. A delayed job beats a rushed one every time, and we will call you rather than surprise you.
