Oct 6th 2009 - 6 comments

We are embarking on a completely updated plan for our terrain parks this winter. In essence, kicking the old “park” out and taking on something totally new… totally unfiltered.

The latest batch of storms have been light and deep – much more snow than I expected!  Conditions were super fun, and we hiked out to High Yellow over and over again.  Pretty chilly out there, with some gusty winds.  But those winds kept filling up our tracks so freshies lasted all day.  Seems like [...]

Alpine has the rich history of a traditional old-school ski resort. We have the steep terrain that brings people in from around the country in the wake of arctic powder storms. But we also have something that those who have skied Alpine for 30+ years might never have thought of back in the day…

After wrapping up our photo shoots this past spring, I packed up and went to build parks in the southern hemisphere. It’s been a huge snow year down here, which usually means great season for us this next winter. It’s been a blast, but I can’t wait to get back home to Alpine Meadows.
