With awesome grooming, snowmaking and patrol work, Mountain Run kicks off tomorrow at 9am!” 

— Jimmy King, Squaw Valley Mountain Manager

With Mountain Run opening tomorrow, you can ski top to bottom at Squaw Valley! Once you get your fill of upper mountain fun, cruise down the 3.2 mile groomed Mountain Run. Now you can ski down to the base, click out of your skis and grab a cold one at the KT Base Bar, which will be open Saturday & Sunday serving drinks only. You can also ride top to bottom at Alpine Meadows via Summit Chair!

Most Terrain. Most Variety.

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.
