Summit Opened Today, More Terrain Coming Wednesday!

  • Dec 9, 2019
  • 2:28 pm

After the weekend’s 2 foot storm, we have surpassed 100″ of cumulative snowfall on the upper mountains! This early season snowfall has allowed us to open more and more terrain. Summit at Alpine Meadows opened today. KT-22 at Squaw and Sherwood at Alpine will open this Wednesday, weather and conditions permitting. 

KT-22 is opening Wednesday

Thanks to the hard work of our operations teams, the Mothership is almost ready to go! Our crews have been busy building the Saddle access road, performing avalanche mitigation, building ramps, grooming, putting the detachable chairs back on and marking boundaries and obstacles in the zone. KT-22 will open for the season this Wednesday, December 11, weather & conditions permitting.

Summit opened today, Sherwood and the backside will open Wednesday 

Stoke was high this morning as Summit Chair popped at 9am. The upper mountain snow was cold and soft, and there was plenty of powder to go around.

Crews are working on setting up the backside as we speak, and Sherwood lift will open this Wednesday, weather and conditions permitting. Be sure to check out the brand new Treeline Cirque Chair, which now provides direct access from the Alpine Meadows base to Sherwood and the backside.  

Stay tuned for more terrain coming soon!

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.
