6 Feet of Snow so Far on the Upper Mountain

We’ve received 76″ (over 6 FEET) of new snow on the upper mountain in the past 2 weeks, making for some incredible early season skiing & riding!

Terrain Expansion Saturday at Alpine Meadows

All this new snow means new terrain! Subway, Meadow and the beginner carpets have been added to tomorrow’s schedule in time for our $79 Learn to Ski & Ride Special this weekend.

And our Mountain Ops crews are working to put the final touches on Scott Chair AND Sherwood Express to open Saturday! Tomorrow Ski Patrol will finish putting out safety markings and boundaries, lift maitenance will finish preparing and testing the lifts, and our groomers will lay down the initial grooming and build the ramps at both chairs. 

What’s Next at Squaw Valley

Squaw crews are working equally hard to expand terrain and charlifts in the very near future. They are working on making lift ramps, putting in additional safety roads, and testing all lifts and backup systems. Stay tuned… we will announce more Squaw Valley openings once they are confirmed!

Operations Update: Season Extended Through 4th of July

It's going to be a summer to remember: We will be skiing and snowboarding at Alpine on the 4th of July. Yes, you read that correctly. We're keeping Alpine open through the 4th of July this year! This is different than the recent years when we've been open on the 4th. Typically, we run the Funitel at Palisades up to the upper mountain throughout the warmer months, but this year, we have a large project to complete on the Funitel that will prevent us from operating it past May 29th.

Operations Update: Wednesday Re-Opening Plans

Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 15th, we plan to reopen both Alpine and Palisades. We appreciate your patience with us being closed today: Our teams NEEDED this day to try to get ahead a bit, and snow conditions are not conducive to a good day of skiing -- It rained as far up as 9,000 feet at times. We spent the day continuing to dig out, performing snow safety, addressing flood zones, and preparing for the few days ahead that have a break in the weather. Tomorrow, we still expect that some of our lifts will be delayed. We will start with a lower mountain offering and expand throughout the day as we can.
