Golf tournament in the snow at Alpine Meadows

Alpine Meadows’ annual Snow Golf Tournament will tee off April 21 at 9am at the top of the mountain off the Summit Express chairlift.

This event features the only mountaintop snow golf course around. It’s skiing or snowboarding combined with golf.

The nine-hole course starts at the top of the Summit Express chairlift off of Sunspot and weaves its way down the mountain to the bottom of Alpine Bowl chair. Players are provided scorecards, pencils, clubs and tennis balls. All competitors must be wearing skis or a snowboard to navigate from hole to hole, but are allowed to remove one foot to drive, chip and putt.

Registration starts at 9am at the top of the Summit Express chair and is free (with a lift ticket or season pass).
