Alpine Meadows' Fun-Filled February Events Schedule

With annual favorites, competitions, festivals and parties,
Alpine knows how to have a good time

[Tahoe City, Calif.] February 6, 2012 - There is no shortage of
events at Alpine Meadows on the calendar for February. For
thrill-seekers who want to show off their skills, or for those
who either prefer to be a spectator or who simply know how to
enjoy a good party, there are plenty of fun activities to partake
in the coming weeks at Alpine Meadows.


Valentine's Day, Feb. 11

Love is in the air at Alpine. Join us for a day of love-filled
celebrations on Saturday, Feb. 11. Play a game of Meet your Match
for a chance to win discounted drinks. Grab a numbered sticker
from a guest services team member and if you find someone with
the same number bring them to the Last Chair Bar to get two
drinks for just $2 each.

Grab your loved one or find a new special friend at our
Valentine's Day Bash featuring DJ Zeb Early. Dance-offs, drink
specials and a chance to meet "the one" are just a few of the
highlights of this party. As evidence of your love, we will be
handing out "I Love Alpine" pins throughout the day and at the
party. Depending on weather, this party will either be hosted on
the Sun Deck or in the Last Chair Bar from 2 p.m.-5 p.m.



For Women. By Women. Women's Camp, Feb. 11

For both the seasoned expert looking for a few tips or the
skier/rider who has mastered the intermediate slopes and is
reaching for a first black-diamond descent, Alpine's professional
and fun female coaches are ready to help cultivate better skiers
or riders. Our women's programs are the perfect opportunity to
meet other women who are passionate about the snow. Camps include
on-mountain coaching, video analysis and après ski activities.
Additional For Women. By Women. Women's Camps are offered on the
following dates: March 4 and March 19.


Alpenglow Alpine Touring and Telemark Demo Day, Feb. 11

Alpenglow Sports will again partner with Alpine Meadows to host
the fifth annual Alpine Touring and Telelmark Demo Event -- one
of the region's most highly anticipated on-snow telemark ski demo
days. Those looking to test-drive the latest gear free of charge
can choose from brands like Black Diamond, Atomic, K2, Garmont,
Dynafit, Karhu, Crispi, and more. The experts from Alpenglow
Sports will be available to offer tips and information on
selecting the best equipment for each individual. The event will
take place from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.


Après Ski Party Featuring Headphone Union, Feb. 18

Kick off your boots after a day on the hill and dance to the
beats of Headphone Union at the Alpine Bar from 2 - 5 p.m. This
high-energy band is known for their powerful performances, tight
songwriting and excellent musicianship. Headphone Union fuses
old-school funk flavor with raucous jams and hints of classic
rock. Party-goers can also enjoy $5 Hurricane's in celebration
of Mardis Gras.


Beaver Bowl Banzai, Feb. 23 and 24

The Beaver Bowl Banzai kicks off the second annual Rahlves Banzai
Tour. This event combines the competitive excitement of skier and
boardercross with the speed-thrill of a downhill race. Event
organizer Daron Rahlves, a former US World Cup and Olympic skier,
knows a thing or two about both: with 12 World Cup gold medals,
Rahlves has won more medals and achieved more podium finishes
spanning the globe than any other American man in the history of
ski racing and competition. Rahlves' vision to fuse
skier/boardercross and downhill racing equals one maniacal
display of speed, strength, and strategy through Alpine's most
difficult steeps and off-trail terrain; non-stop from summit to
base. Thursday, Feb. 23 is time trials; a solo qualifying run
ranks the top 32 men from ski/board and top 16 women from
ski/board to move on to the finals on Friday, Feb. 24 to compete
for a $15,000 prize purse.



Ice Bar Opening Party, Feb. 25

Recognized as an iconic Alpine hotspot to gather with friends and
catch a few rays of the famous Sierra winter sunshine, the Ice
Bar is a party every day during the ski season. The grand
opening is Alpine's way of celebrating the Ice Bar, it's
inevitable snowball battles, live on-snow music, and casual
inviting ambiance usually reserved for the beach. Skiers and
riders who migrate to the Ice Bar (located at the base of the
Sherwood Chair) can kick back in a lounge chair with a cold
beverage and barbecued bratwurst, try their luck with the
hula-hoop contest, or dance to great DJ sounds emanating from the
one and only snow cat sound system hybrid, the Alpine Bandwagon.
The party starts at noon and finishes when the last snowball is
launched.
