RIP Alpine Meadows Website…

SquawAlpine.com's new website for Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley.

Alpine Meadow’s website is officially no more. It was SkiAlpine.com. SkiAlpine.com now redirects you to the new website called SquawAlpine.com that encompasses both ski resort. There aren’t any photos of Alpine on the homepage just yet. It’s quite Squaw for the time being. In 2012, Squaw Valley’s new owners, KSL, bought Alpine Meadows. Since then, KSL has been doing what it can to make the two mountains one. Hopefully, they’ll connect one day via White Wolf. […]
