Conditions

The conditions surprised us today in our hunt for velvet-ripping groomers around the mountain. The snow is riding so well, and the terrain filling in so incredibly awesome. Get out early to enjoy the quiet lines, open runs, and ripping groomers.

Perfect weather and great snow had Alpine feeling almost like it was spring and not the middle of December. Couldn’t have asked for a better day!

From trees to moguls, and backside to park, conditions were on point and fast following last night’s snow shower.

Mid-season conditions, but in December.

Big celebration today for the new Base to Base Gondola opening, connecting the terrain of Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows – it was amazing to rip KT and Summit in the same hour.

It’s been a few days since new snow, and Alpine Meadows was the place to be today for adventure riding, with pow stashes and newly opened terrain on Sherwood and Estelle Bowls.

After this week’s massive snowfall, Granite Peak opens with amazing conditions. This blog was written by Ryan Williams.

This is a December to remember — maybe even another #DEEPcember? In just 11 days, Palisades Tahoe received more than 9 feet of snow. That’s an average of 10+ inches per day! Our teams braved winds of over 160mph, snowfall rates of more than 6 inches per hour, and extreme weather impacts to get the mountain open for some fantastic skiing and riding. Our crews opened 11 new chairlifts across both mountains since the first of December, a huge feat that we couldn’t be more stoked about. Let’s look back at some of the incredible moments and footage we captured of this storm cycle.

With the recent storms bringing in 4.5 feet of snow, and a massive storm rolling in this weekend, I thought today would be a good day for Alpine, hunting for pow and getting some pre-storm recon on what’s going to be good to send with this next storm. This blog was written by Ryan Williams
