I am moving to the tahoe area for most of the winter this year. I used to ride at alpine meadows back in the day and loved the mountain, so im probably buying my season pass there this year. I was just wondering what you guys thought of it. Are the people cool and shit? I wont know anyone when i move down there so i need to meet some people to ride with. I can keep up.
Do you ride Alpine Meadows?

You should not speak about things you do not know about. It is much more then just that. Anyone who has been going to Alpine Meadows for a long time and tell you things have changed a lot for the worse. Especially since JMI come in. I am excited to see what they do with the "all mountain park" this year still.

yeah gotta say though terrain at alpine is straight sick great terrian big accessible cliffs pretty legit terrain park enough to have fun on never crowded high speed quad to the top all the crowds at squaw i don't think i can ask for more, we had a party last spring and we just buried a keg in the snow by the upper shop and skied around drinking and smoking all day Apline is right up for the best around tahoe in my opinion

Alpine Meadows is awesome. Management's calls have been discussed plenty on unofficialalpine.com, so check out the forum there if you'd like. I'm powderjunkie on there, and though I'm not a tahoe local, some of the folks on that forum live a stone's throw away from the lake.
Alpine should be super sick. A contributor poster to Unofficial Alpine--Andy Wertheim--made note that he was handed the new trail map a few days ago. On it were orange ovals on Kangaroo, Terry's return, and Charity.
Look for Jonahs, or nohajs here on NS, because he's the park manager. Alpine gave him the freedom to put park features on places other than Kang, so that's what he's doing. From what he's said, I gather that he'll be building features in places you see while skiing and think "Gee, I wish there was a proper takeoff for that tree jib," or "It would be really swell if there were a better takeoff on this buttery smooth roller!"
That will be good. The college pass is sick as well, nice and cheap if you're a student.
Look for me on the mountain- 09 Gotamas mounted with Look Px12 Jibs, Burton disco pants (http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=66002&stc=1&d=1255276241), an orange Marmot jacket, and a black Smith helmet.
I usually follow this sort of pattern throughout the day: Summit until the crowd builds, then Scott for a while, then Abowl once or twice, then summit when the crowds die back down. I throw in backside and the Pacific Crest Trail northward hike (to Beav, estelle, etc.) if I want to. I usually do.
I'll see you on the mountain, I try to be there as often as possible, but it doesn't always work out with Mom and Dad's schedules, but this year I have a license, so my parents might let me drive up on my own later in the season. In all likelihood, that won't happen until the winter of '10/'11.
Wow, that's a longish post for being written at 12:30.
