NASTC ALPINE MEADOWS ALL CONDITIONS/ALL TERRAIN
Welcome to Alpine Meadows, a mountain notorious for great terrain and warm hospitality. This mountain is truly a gem and much bigger than what you can see, its terrain covers an expanse of five bowls connected by a single ridgeline. Probably one of Lake Tahoe's more understated resorts, Alpine Meadows has kind of terrain that will make you an expert skier. This clinic is a step-by-step progression designed to get you off that intermediate or advanced plateau and skiing the entire mountain well,whatever the conditions.
