Squaw Valley USA and Alpine Meadows Join ForcesTuesday, September 27th, 2011 Credit, Tom Day Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows Ski Resort announced today that the two North Lake Tahoe ski resorts have agreed to combine operations under common ownership and offer season passes and lift tickets that will allow guests to enjoy skiing and riding on both mountains. The transaction is expected to close prior to the commencement of the 2011-12 winter season.
Wondering what that means for your season pass purchasing? For $799 you can have unfettered access (translation=unrestricted dates) to both Squaw and Alpine combined via the Tahoe Super Pass. Together the resorts have a little more than 6,000 skiable acres, meaning that combined they make the largest ski resort in the U.S. Compare Squaw/Alpine with other U.S. and North American resorts. If you purchased a season pass for either resort before today you now have access to both mountains, essentially doubling your value. Read more about the various passes and FAQs, including some of Alpine’s multi-resort passes previously issued.
