[Tahoe City, CA] December 7, 2011 – Alpine Meadows is slated to open for skiing and riding on Saturday, December 10. The Lake Tahoe resort has been actively making snow over the course of the past few weeks, in addition to several feet of natural snow that resort received in the last month.

Skiers and riders can kick-off winter on December 10 by taking their first turns of the season on the slopes accessed by the Roundhouse Chairlift, scheduled to spin from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For beginners, Alpine will also be running the Meadow Chairlift and the Sun Kids Magic Carpet (for lessons only). Alpine Meadows will also be hosting the North Lake Tahoe Learn to Ski and Board Weekend on December 10 and 11, offering beginner lift tickets, rentals and lessons for just $30 for first time skiers and snowboarders.

Opening day also marks the final two weeks in which skiers and riders can purchase the Tahoe Super Six. Available for just $399, the Tahoe Super Six offers six unrestricted days of skiing and riding at Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley. With absolutely no blackout dates, the Tahoe Super Six equates to six days of access to some of North America’s most coveted terrain for $66 per day.

The Tahoe Super Six is also available at $299 for young adults (ages 13 to 22) and seniors (ages 65 to 75), and at $149 for kids (ages 5 to 12) and super seniors (ages 76+).

Through Squaw's new "Turn in Your Ticket" program, skiers and riders will be able to turn in their 2011-12 lift tickets on the day of purchase at Special Tickets in the main lodge, and receive the full amount off of the purchase of a Tahoe Super Pass – providing season-long access to both Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley.
