Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, CA Will Offer New Terrain Today by Opening the Gold Coast Express Chair

One week after opening, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows will open new terrain today, following the Thanksgiving storm that dumped 18 inches on the resort’s iconic peaks (and it’s still snowing). Squaw Valley’s upper mountain will open for the season with Gold Coast Express chairlift opening tomorrow, with access to intermediate terrain on Gold Coast run. At Alpine Meadows, Nick’s Run will open for more intermediate terrain off of Kangaroo chair.
