Alpine Meadows
"A mountain with a distinctly split personality: a mild side and a wild
side." - Skiing Magazine
It might border cliché, but Alpine Meadows is an all-terrain vehicle to good times. In
other words, all the mountain you could ask for, all the fun you can handle. Cruisers and
glades, trails, bowls, and cornice-crowned chutes. Recent additions have made Alpine
Meadows a family favorite, including a Sun Kid surface lift for Kids Camp, an interpretive
nature trail, a family ski zone, teen tickets, parents' lounge, even money-saving
interchangeable parents tickets. And in the age of instant gratification, we present an
airborne fleet of triples and high speed quad, as well as our Summit Six Chair. Alpine
Meadows - available in all shapes and sizes, all of which is why Skiing Magazine
called us, "A mountain with a distinctly split personality: a mild side and a wild
side."

NEW SHERWOOD CHAIR: The new Sherwood Express detachable

than its predecessor, providing greater access to enjoy approximately
400 acres of intermediate groomed and expert off-trail terrain in the
popular Sherwood Bowl. The Sherwood Express installation is another step
in the resort’s long-term vision to provide a uniquely memorable
experience for its skiing and snowboarding fans. “We know that Northern
California guests and visitors have many outstanding options for skiing
and snowboarding. We’re very grateful that each year, more of them are

concluded Janney.
