Squaw Valley & Alpine Meadows, CA
March 17 - March 24, 2012
Squaw Valley USA boasts over 4000 acres of skiable terrain. Spread over six peaks, and accessed by the most advanced lift system in the world, Squaw enjoys an annual snowpack of over 450 inches, and an abundance of warm California sunshine nearly 300 days of the year.
With Squaw's immense size, it can cater to skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. 70% of the terrain is geared for the beginner and intermediate skier, with wide open bowls and carefully groomed runs. Advanced skiers are treated to vast areas left in their pristine state for a true wilderness experience and some of the most challenging terrain in the world.
There is an energy at Alpine Meadows; a heartbeat. Beyond its scenic natural beauty is Alpine’s mysterious “je ne sais quos” character that will forever escape spoken or written word. This mountain mesmerizes us with perfect powder which lingers days after a storm; grants moments of clarity on quiet traverses through snow covered pine trees; and converts visitors to locals with seven open bowls, gentle, top-to-bottom cruisers, and forested glades.
The “good stuff” (seven powder bowls; stunning mountaintop views of Lake Tahoe; and peaceful high traverses) remains unchanged. The “new stuff” has made this unfiltered mountain even better:
