Every year it happens, fall arrives and a feeling of sheer excitement flows through me in anticipation for the season ahead.  Reminiscent thoughts of skiing Alpine’s many powder bowls run through my mind and I can’t help but dream about sunny afternoons spent with ski buddies at the Ice Bar. Skiing at Alpine is one of my [...]
I’ve had many moments of zen at A.M., some of them in the ‘upper bakery’ I’m told it’s called. Chillin’ on an awesome spring day (with my rad silver sequined shirt; yes, it’s me again). But April of ‘03, wow, what a spring…what was it, 15 feet of snow in April? They just don’t make [...]
I already had the “thud!” moment, the “I think I lost my ski!” moment, and the “left behind” moment at Alpine Meadows. But then I finally figured out how to ski in powder!  I finally had the floaty-bouncy feeling and the rush from skiing on powder.  Thank you Estelle Bowl!  I don’t get left behind [...]
Last year was very much an experience for me. In early April myself and a few of my co-workers decided to do a hiking/ski experience at beautiful Alpine Meadows. I was excited and petrified all in the same breath. Skiing I don’t mind, hiking is definitely not my forte.
To make a long story short, while [...]
‘94-’95 was my first season in Tahoe, and I decided to buy a pass at Alpine since it was the “locals choice”. I was not disappointed as we had a tremendous snow year with daily operations from mid Nov. till July 4th!
On the 4th of July, I skied Estelle bowl top to bottom, right down [...]
I had been skiing in Tahoe for a number of years and recently came to Alpine last season. I found more than just amazing terrain and great snow. I found another family and friends to enjoy the sport of which I am so passionate about.

Although powder is my favorite for skiing, I have and always will appreciate the solitude of Alpine’s hikes. Regardless of what the changing snow has to offer, the one constant about Alpine is its ability to offer anonymity, peace, silence, and stunning scenery.
For me, that is Alpine’s best attribute; and can be found there year-round. All you have to [...]
Alpine Meadows Ski Resort plans to open for skiing and snowboarding on December 5, 2009, conditions permitting.
The announcement of opening day almost three months in advance is new for Alpine Meadows. “Whether guests live locally or plan to visit from outside the Tahoe Basin, many tend to plan around when ski season begins,” said Kent [...]
Once again the kids showed us all what they’re made of at the Annual Toyota SnowBomb Sick-N-Twisted Li’l Air Jump Competition at Alpine Meadows. And apparently it’s a really light form of rubber! They go WAY up and when the come down nothing stops them! We have some amazing little huckers here at Alpine Meadows [...]
The mountains around Lake Tahoe hold some amazing snow for skiing and snowboarding. But that snow isn’t always the fluffy happy-sauce it appears to be. We encourage adventurous skiers who explore the hidden powder stashes at Alpine Meadows to carry an avalanche beacon, a probe and a shovel. But those things are just tools. If [...]
It’s a strange feeling loading Roundhouse at 5:00 PM as the sun hovers over high beaver and idiots ridge like the day running in reverse or stalling, just a few more hours, for a few more runs. But even at lake Tahoe, skies clear, snow melts and ski seasons end. Before it was all over [...]
I always have snow on my mind, especially this time of year when the mountain bike trails are not completely burned out, and the upper elevation still has snow. I could make turns everyday! And that is precisely what I did this past weekend. But soon, the snow will melt away and the mountain bike [...]
Errol Kerr of the Jamaica Ski Team spent the day hanging with the kids from the Alpine Meadows Ski Team.
“They have the drive the heart and the desire that you need to be a successful ski racer or just have fun skiing the rest of your life… reminds me of me when I was [...]
We all have a soft spot in our hearts for spring corn… but don’t be fooled… it is on a different level than powder. The mixture of our steep terrain, long cornices, and lots of Mother Nature’s finest snow increases avalanche danger. In our world, it means early morning explosives! Check out how our [...]
Yes, it’s sad but true. Our beloved season of choice has expired for another year. And what a year it was! The numerous powder days we had…leaving our legs screaming for more! Oh, and the competitions! Remember the Telemark Freestyle Championships?! Mike Abarno’s documented cliff huck off into Marhenka chute. And, what about the season [...]
So yeah, this is a spring ski video and we just got 10 inches of fresh snow thanks to a nice winter storm. The important thing is that any weather is beer weather and it’ll be sunny and nice out again soon!
Spring skiing at alpine meadows can’t be beat. We’ve got all the faces, aspects [...]
Snow, nor wind, or cold temperatures could keep this crowd huddled in the main lodge of Alpine Meadows. Processions of Alpine’s die hard faithful showed for the Second Annual Moonrise Season Passholder Party. The warming fire at the top of Roundhouse took away the chill, while stories from new, young and experienced brought smiles as [...]

There is no denying that spring has come to the Tahoe area, and Alpine Meadows has some of the best spring skiing around.  Using a secret scientific process referred to as “cornology”, the crew at Alpine serves up some of the freshest corn you could ever hope for at a ski area.  By keeping areas [...]
