Thank you for an amazing season. Now get ready for Fourth of July turns!

It's been a wild ride this year. With over 72 feet of snow falling on the mountain, a full slate of fun-filled events and parties, and the enthusiasm of you, our loyal family of skiers and riders, the 2010/11 season won't soon be forgotten.

And while we're sad to say goodbye for now, we're excited to announce that Alpine will open for three days of summer skiing and snowboarding over the Fourth of July weekend - July 2, 3 and 4, 2011.

2011/12 season passholders (and those who leave a $100 down payment on a 2011/12 pass) will ski or ride for free over the holiday weekend, while all others can pre-purchase Fourth of July lift tickets at special rates, with a fun Facebook promotion that could help lower ticket prices to $25 for all! Click here for all the details.

Hurry! Early-bird pass prices (starting at just $339) and the option to put $100 down will no longer be available after May 30. Get your pass now.
