Snow has fallen at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows!
Alpine Meadows is constructing a new $10-million Treeline Cirque chairlift. It looks pretty nice so far, especially with snow on it.
It’s a brand-spanking new, high-speed quad chair that will transport skiers and riders from the base area to the Sherwood Ridge in 5 minutes.
The lift will feature a mid-station for quick access to some of Alpine’s best low-intermediate terrain.
From the top terminal skiers and riders can drop into expert terrain on the frontside or venture into the back bowls of Sherwood, which wield the resort’s best views of Lake Tahoe.
The protected alignment of Treeline Cirque makes it favorable in high winds and inclement weather.
The rapid access from the base area will dramatically improve the skier experience for a wide range of ability levels.
First Weasel, the Hot Wheels… HOT WEASEL!
Stoked for this new lift, but no one will call it it “Treeline Circue”. That name is in fact, really generic and sounds like a lame marketing dept came up with it. Everyone will still call it “Hot Wheels”. They should have kept the old name anyways, since now it will actually go fast enough to be called “Hot Wheels”…
