Saturday Jonas and the Shredows crew gobbed 2 big jumps together to make one colossal jump at the bottom of Dance Floor for the Alpine Meadows stop on Snowbomb?s Toyota Sick N? Freestyle Tour.
The Jump was impressive. And the new venue at the bottom of dancefloor made for great spectating from the Bandwagon and while [...]

There is no place else you will want to be if you are looking for a great way to spend your Spring Break.
Take the Lake is a first of its kind, spring getaway centered around a premier ski and snowboard A.M. Open Triple Air Jumpline competition. Alpine Meadows will play host to some of the [...]
Saturday marked the second significant powder day we’ve had this week. The recent snows have been a bit warmer than what we’ve gotten used to this season resulting in some really slidey snow. Ski Patrol has done a great job with their avalanche control work, and have probably enjoyed making some of the [...]
After carrying the Jamaican flag into the Opening Ceremony in Vancouver last Friday night, Olympian Errol Kerr returned to Tahoe for extra days of practice in at Alpine Meadows.
He said that the recent sunny days here in Tahoe produced a soft snow surface, similar to the snow that Olympians in early competition have [...]
An unbelievable storm day in Alpine Meadows’ Munchkins side country. It really doesn’t get any better than this. I apologize for the annoying long ski runs, but it is what it is, and that’s loooonnnnggggggg!!!!!!!!! This video is from Feb. 6th, 2010.

I am one of a lucky few who live on the route of the Sherwood Shuttle. I took advantage of the shuttle today and walked out of my house in ski boots and hopped on the 9 am shuttle as it went past my house. The shuttle runs on Saturdays and Sundays and [...]
It’s hard to believe January 2010 has come and gone. It was a blink of an eye, and one to remember: 10 feet of snow fell at the base lodge and 14 fell at the mid mountain stake. Storms like that aren’t just weather; they’re a journey.
With all the unbridled wind, prodigious accumulation, [...]
Hello again schralpers! Hope you all have been enjoying the oh so fine snow conditions. Mama spackled in round about 9 feet of good ol’ maritime/party time snow-pack, that really opened up a lot of schralp zones. One in particular would be the great slopes of Keyhole where you will find Lizet Christiansen, organizer and [...]
Tahoe versus Utah.
Seriously, it’s a contest happening right now on Travelocity: the Roaming Gnome Cabin Fever: Finding The Cure contest. Here’s what the news release says:
Lake Tahoe mountains are calling upon faithful fans of the Lake Tahoe area and its skiers and snowboarders to vote for Lake Tahoe in Travelocity’s Roaming Gnome [...]
The recent storm cycle has been one of extremes. Extreme amounts of snow, people getting extreme, and extremely hard work from the Alpine Meadows ski patrol. With such relentless and copious snowfall it is amazing that patrol was able to get the mountain safe and ready for us to ride so quickly. [...]
My friend Jackie Paaso and I were lucky enough to hike out from Alpine Meadows and ski the fabled Little Alaska. We found some awesome conditions and got two laps in while never even having to use our skins. You wanna ski spines? You don’t have to go all the way to Alaska to find [...]
The Sierra Nevada’s shining star, Mother Nature, has delivered the goods during this storm; and the goods just get deeper every day. Snow has found its way to every mountain crag and has achieved extravagant depths in a matter of 72 hours. Trees look more like shrouded towering ghosts than the gentle Jeffrey [...]
Amazing just doesn’t cut it when describing today’s powder. Totalled as of this evening, 24 inches of snow at the base and 34 inches at the Sisters stake have fallen and it just keeps snowing. Team Sessions came out to play today and milked every pow turn to be had. Big THANKS [...]
Here is the first real update for the parks in 2010. We hope to build the best park Alpine has ever seen, so please be patient in our expansion. If everything works out this year, bigger and better things are on the horizon for the terrain park at Alpine. I’ll try to answer any questions [...]
After an exciting and snowy December we have entered what I like to call June-uary. Our January warm spell means one thing, great skiing all over the mountain. Today I found cold chalky snow, and even some powder on north facing slopes, and springy corn-like snow on south and east facing terrain. [...]
Just a quick helmet cam video of skiing down from the top of Summit Chair on Jan. 2nd, 2010 (today’s date is a Palindrome!). The groomers were perfect!
By Miles Clark
It’s an incredible thing when it happens, when a single storm drops enough snow to blanket our mountains with over three feet of new snow. The mountain goes from virtually unskiable, except for the snow blown on the groomers, to completely buried overnight. The transformation isn’t only on the mountain; it hits the people just [...]
