3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2012

Been skiing here for years with my family, but this will probably be the last. This is a great ski area and there was lots of snow on April 21st for Spring/Summer skiing(94 degrees in parts of Sacramento), but it's getting too expensive. Ticket prices went way up this last year since the merger with Squaw Valley and there's nothing... More

I really like this ski area, it has a variety of runs of all types and for all skill levels. Excellent bowls. I like the fact that it is kind of quiet and not as flashy as Squaw.

Alpine has runs to suit everyone in the whole family. We brought our kids here to learn to ski and also took lessons ourselves. Lots of long, wide, intermediate runs for folks like me who are not exactly tearing up the mountain but with plenty of black diamonds for my adventurous son. Room for the little ones on the bunny...
