Located just 5 minutes from it's world famous neighbor, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows Ski Resort has long been called the Tahoe local's choice. Alpine Meadows ski area offers skiers and riders a unique, "unfiltered", experience. While other resorts ramp up real estate, villages and shopping venues, Alpine Meadows sticks to the basics, offering up an incredible mountain, family friendly amenities, and a down home, local ambiance. With stashes of powder that last for days, off-piste access, and over 2400 acres of terrain, Alpine Meadows ranks among the best for a genuine Lake Tahoe skiing and boarding experience.  Factor in the family friendly lodge and ski school programs, and Alpine Meadows is great for all members of the family.

Although Alpine’s entire mountain could be considered one giant terrain park, the resort presents three separate ski and snowboard terrain parks, which are meticulously groomed and sculpted nightly. A wide variety of rails, fun-boxes, and snow features can be found in each park. Most popular with beginners and kids is the Kids' Tiegel Terrain park. Intermediates have fun reaching for the next level in the Kangaroo Ridge Park; and advanced skiers and riders make a beeline to the Shreadows Terrain Park.

Alpine Meadows features 2,400 acres of skiable terrain with 14 chairlifts and 2 terrain parks.  Directions from Old Greenwood: Take Interstate 80-West to Truckee and exit State Route 89-South, drive 10 miles, and turn right onto Alpine Meadows Road. Follow this to the end (another 3 miles).
