*Alpine Meadows
Also smoking hot this week...and with a $41.00 lift ticket, you're
taking advantage of world-class conditions at a reasonable price.

My personal tip for sliding Alpine.., park at the subway chair,
(take the left turn before the parking lot, then quick right.)
You can buy your ticket and be on the lift in two minutes...
also food at Subway. I take a break and play ball with my
dog, Murphy, next to the parking lot. Unfortunately dogs
cannot ski or ride at Alpine...yet.

Have you tried the new Sherwood Express? You can make a round trip
now in less than five minutes. Compare that to 15 minutes on the
old chair. Excellent backside skiing and riding

Alpine Meadows at $41.00, truly one of the best values in Lake Tahoe
