Hello Skiers and Boarders, Rains held off for much of the day, but drops did fall during my short late afternoon tour of the mountain. Drizzle is falling now making our streets wet. This afternoon the ski area was pretty much empty as I made my way from lift to lift. The snow surface was…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, This afternoon it feels and looks like spring. Sunshine is making me feel warm although actual temperatures are cool. It was 30 degrees at the base of Alpine at 1pm and in the 20’s on the upper mouintain. Skiing has been excellent the past few days. Yesterday morning under sunny skies and cool…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, Very little sun today on the slopes. Flat light this morning from a gray sky. A few flakes of snow fell overnight adding up to a few inches in sections of the mountain and none in other places.

Hello Skiers and Boarders, Today represented the definition of the term Snow Showers. For the first time in a number of days I saw shadows on the slopes and moments of what appeared to be sunlight. These brief moments that were spaced far apart were followed by numerous periods of snow showers. Gray was once…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, A quick review of the past few days at Alpine for those of you who have not been on the hill. Friday was an awesome day. The surface of the entire mountain was smooth from high winds that whipped over the entire area. There was not a mogul in site. A…
