Hello Skiers and Boarders, We are enjoying a fantastic clear sunny day on the slopes at Alpine Meadows. Most lifts on the mountain are open including Sherwood. The High Traverse opened this morning as well. We felt the need to tour the mountain a little and thus headed for Scott Chair first thing in the…
Hello Skiers and Boarders, This afternoon the sky has clouded over and a gray tint is all I can see looking out my window. However, the sun was out earlier in the day and the snow was excellent. Real squeaky winter snow. Small moguls have formed on many of the main runs, but they are…
