Alpine Meadows is wide open and wild, with 80% above tree bowl
skiing. Ski Alpine is where the locals go, there’s no slope side
lodging, and the best terrain is out of bounds and legal with
Alpine’s rather liberal backcountry policy. Alpine Meadows is a
multi-faced mountain, offering steep chutes lined with jagged rock
cropping and snow filled gullies on the front side, then sun-soaked
bowls and views of Lake Tahoe on the backside. Alpine’s mid mountain
Chalet is a great spot for lunch a warm up of homemade lunch, or a
place to sit and soak up the California sunshine on the huge outdoor
deck. Alpine is now on the same ticket as nearby Squaw Valley, a
free shuttle transfers skiers and riders back and forth.
