That’s right, Alpine!
Sounds like Sugar Bowl did a great job getting operations going Sunday and Monday, but I couldn’t get there. Caltrans had 80 closed all day from Truckee..
So on Tuesday I went to Alpine instead! Alpine was completely closed Sunday and Monday and opened almost all their terrain except High Traverse Tuesday.
Whatever the state of current management (grr..), Alpine is still one of my favorite mountains ever. It is where I learned what Tahoe was all about, chasing powder off piste.
I visited almost all of my favorite spots! Promised Land, Broccoli tree (aka the “Tree of Life”), the Bakery AND the Lower Bakery, Saddle, High Yellow, Counterweight Gully, Pete’s. Missed out on the Sisters and Closing Rock… next time!
One buried Bakery!
See you back at the Bowl!
