And with all the skiing/riding you are going to do, we can’t expect you to leave without some on mountain fun! Check out Alpine’s list of spring events.

Spectacular groomed runs and off piste corn snow is the stuff that brings snow worshipers to Alpine Meadows. We are not the only ones enjoying the skiing. Luna, one of our patrol dogs is showing off her riding skills.

A Host of Events at Alpine Meadows

This weekend Alpine Meadows hosted a plethora of events catering to every skier, rider and freeheeler out on the hill. At the nine O’clock bell, tents were raised with logos from Black Diamond, K2, Crispi and Garmont for Alpenglow’s 3rd Annual Telemark and Alpine Touring Demo Day. The ski’s were phat and the freeheeler’s excited! Thanks to everyone from Alpenglow for a fantastic event!

Not every event is on the hill… a snow safety seminar for Alpine Club members and season pass holders was held above the Alpine Bar. The presentation was given by Evan and Gene, two of Alpine’s Professional Ski Patrolmen and Avalanche Forecasters. With over 40 years experience between the two, a power point slide show gave skiers/riders an up close look at the surface we enjoy sliding on.

And for the Kid’s, Alpine held a scavenger hunt powered by, Flaik, the ultimate real time tracking solution. The course takes children to various areas of the resort, encouraging them to have fun exploring the mountain while looking for hidden objects. The scavenger hunt uses Flaik to track exactly where participants are, have been, their vertical feet, speed, runs completed, and objects found throughout the event. To find our more about Flaik at Alpine Meadows, check out our Kid’s Ski and Snowboard Programs.

Don’t even think we forgot about the apres part of skiing! In celebration of what we all love…SNOW! The party was held In the Last Chair Bar, while SambaDa rocked the house with their funk reggae beats. The crowd was shakin’ as Alpine’s legendary Diva’s, Team RAD, hosted the event.

While the adults were playing in the Last Chair, the first Junior Alpine Club party took place in the Mezzanine. Junior Alpine Club is for 18 and under. The Mezzanine had ping pong, pool, soft-tip darts, and a raffle giving away cool gear! What a great place to bring your kids while you relax at the Last Chair.

Another Successful Employee Night

75 pizzas in 26 minutes . Once again the employees of Alpine Meadows exceeded our expectations in cheese and pepperoni consumption . We had hopes that the 2 enormous salads that the F&B crew put together would slow down the slice inhalation, but no.

We are ever so grateful for Chris P., Steve and the rest of F&B crew for whipping out an additional 20 pies for the pizza crazed crowd.

And we also need to send out a big Thank You to Amber and Marketing for providing us with some nice swag for giveaway. It gave our pie warriors a few minutes to digest before we moved on to the big event…

The roar of the crowd-

The smell of whipped cream-

And it was all over in 2 minutes, 28 seconds.

Shane devoured his way to an early lead and never looked back. Our patrol has a nice pizza party to look forward to.

The Crowd:

The Winner!

Lil’ Air Festival @ Alpine Meadows

admin — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:06:32 +0000

The Tigel Terrain Park was ROCKING Saturday for the Sick & Twisted Lil’ Air Festival. Jonas, our Terrain Park Manager, built up a special kicker just for the kids. The first annual Lil’ Air Mountain Festival was made possible thanks to Toyota, Under Armour Performance, SnowBomb, Alpine Meadows, Roxy Snow, Huck Doll and Zola Acai. Kids 10 years old and younger had their own day on the park. Competition was stiff and everyone has a blast!

The event kicked off @ 11:30 and the kids were flying everywhere! These little guys and girls are amazing! We saw all the tricks: 180s, 360′s, some spread eagles and a few yard sales. Those kids are made of rubber. They all bounced back and had a great time.
After sessioning the kicker for about an hour, the kids took two runs for the crowds. Then we had to drag them into the lodge so we could give them their awards. Everyone was a winner at this year’s Lil’ Air, with all 52 contestants awarded a Huck Doll and Alpine Meadows Hooded Sweatshirt. In addition, a random drawing was held to award more than $1,000 worth of gear from Roxy Snow and Huck Doll.

Thanks to all the families who came out! We can’t wait to see you @ Big Air next year!!!
