Alpine Meadows Ski Resort is offering an unlimited spring pass for $139 starting March 30 through the end of the season. The spring pass can also be used a down payment toward a 2008-2009 adult full season pass.

Spring passes are on sale now and give skiers and riders full access to the best spring snow in Tahoe for less than the price of three lift tickets.
The mountain staff patiently waits for snow to complete a sufficient multi-day freeze/melt process (snow surface warms and becomes smooth during the day; the smooth layer freezes at night) before opening for skiing and riding. The reward: Perfectly smooth corn snow runs.

Alpine maintains its flawless corn snow by adopting a “follow the sun” ski philosophy. During the warm spring days, terrain opens and closes throughout the day depending upon when they’re kissed by the sun.

Live music every Saturday on the sundeck, and unique spring events – including the Annual Snow Golf Tournament and Mad Cow Downhill – are perfect compliments to Alpine’s beautiful spring terrain.

Purchase the Spring Pass at the Alpine Meadows Special Tickets window or at SkiAlpine.com.
