Alpine Meadows will open Dec. 5 with beginner through advanced terrain via Roundhouse high speed quad chair and Meadow double chair from 9am to 4pm, weather and conditions permitting.

“The Alpine Meadows snowmaking team has taken advantage of the cold temperatures throughout the past month to prepare for opening day,” Kent Hoopingarner, Alpine Meadows general manager, said in a press release. “The cold weather has also helped the mountain retain the natural snowfall from storms leading up to opening day.”

Dining, rental equipment, and other resort services will include the Meadows Café & Coffee Bar; the Compactor Bar; Estelle Sports retail shop; season pass office; snow sports school and Kids’ Camp; and the ski/snowboard rental shop – all located in the base lodge.

Opening day full-day adult and teen lift ticket price is $44; and tickets for children ages 5-12 is $15.
