“I am” is the shortest sentence in the English language. But you have to be something. Something that can be described with one word and one picture. Two things that express who you are, how you feel and how you came to be that way.
That’s our story too. That’s who we are. Alpine Meadows is the sum of many greater parts. You: the skiers, snowboarders, adaptive skiers, schralpers, park rats, powder trouts and knee droppers who find joy on the snow here at Alpine Meadows.

Finally the mountain has been getting filled in, and there has been a lot of great new terrain to explore. I’m definitely still getting my bearings down around Alpine Meadows, but I have started finding exciting new zones with great features and deep snow. It’s super fun to approach the limits of your comfort zone and find the good stashes.. or in other words, to take a walk on the wild side.

Some midweek snowfall came, and my powder cravings have been off the charts.. soo I decided to take the helmet cam and head to Alpine for a day trip to get after the fresh pow. The only thing I had to take care of before I left was the email to my Professor explaining that I ate bad fish tacos and wasn’t going to be able to make it to class that day. If she was a skier I probably would have just told her the truth- I am not going to sit in class on a powder day!
Saturday marked the second significant powder day we’ve had this week. The recent snows have been a bit warmer than what we’ve gotten used to this season resulting in some really slidey snow. Ski Patrol has done a great job with their avalanche control work, and have probably enjoyed making some of the bigger ones go. While some of the steeper terrain is holding on to the new snow, I’ve found it more enjoyable and relaxing to cruise some low angle powder… Here’s a few clips from 2/27/10 taken with my GoPro POV camera from a couple of the runs I took today. You might want to get your skis waxed up, there’s more snow in the forecast….
This is my first season at Alpine Meadows, and I couldn’t be more stoked to be here. Both the terrain and the overall vibe of the mountain are way beyond what I expected. I’ve already met a bunch of new kids to ride with, and everybody I’ve talked to around Alpine has been super friendly and just plain stoked to shred. The terrain park was great early season, and I got the chance to lap it up with a new buddy Chris. Lovin’ the sunshine but I just can’t wait to explore the whole mountain on a pow day! I am new here.
