Break out the Golf Clubs, it’s Tee Time at Alpine Meadows

Alpine Meadows’ 30th Anniverary Snow Golf Tournament Scheduled for Sat., April 13

[Alpine Meadows, Calif.] April 5, 2012 – Alpine Meadows’ 30th anniverary Snow Golf Tournament will tee off at 9 a.m. at the top of the mountain off the Summit Express chairlift, Saturday, April 13. As featured on the Golf Channel, this highly anticipated spring event is the only mountaintop snow golf course around. It’s the best of both worlds: skiing or snowboarding combined with golf. What better way to spend a beautiful spring day than on the slopes for a game of snow golf?

The nine-hole course starts at the top of the Summit Express chairlift off of Sunspot and weaves its way down the mountain to the bottom of Alpine Bowl Chair. Players are provided scorecards, pencils, clubs and tennis balls. All competitors must be wearing skis or a snowboard to navigate from hole to hole, but are allowed to remove one foot to drive, chip and putt. Winners will receive prizes including golf rounds at Tahoe Donner Golf Course, Old Greenwood and Resort at Squaw Creek, in addition to Oakley googles, a GoPro, Alpine swag and more.

Registration starts at 9 a.m. at the top of the Summit Express chair and is free (with a lift ticket or season pass). All scorecards will be entered into a raffle beginning at 3 p.m. on the Sundeck. A live performance by Peter Joseph Burt & The King Tide will also take place on the Sundeck from 1-4 p.m.
