OLYMPIC VALLEY AND ALPINE MEADOWS, Calif.
Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows have announced nearly $8 million in capital improvements for the 2013-14 winter season, as part of the resorts’ five-year, $70 million renaissance. This year’s investment follows the $38 million in base area and on-mountain improvements from the past two winter seasons, bringing the total investment to more than $46 million, to date.
All of the projects are aiming to make the resort experience more friendly, approachable and welcoming for all guests.
New projects for this ski and snowboard season include significant snowmaking improvements at both resorts, new snow cats for more smooth, carve-able slopes, a new Wanderlust yoga studio, Spruce, a new home furnishings store, and comprehensive room renovations at The Village at Squaw Valley, as well as new on-mountain and valley signage for increased way-finding and accessibility.
At the base of KT-22, Squaw Valley’s best concert venue is getting even better with the investment of over $150,000 to sculpt an amphitheater at the KT Base Bar. Squaw’s terrain already creates a sort of natural amphitheater at the base of the mountain, but the resort will be grading the terrain for optimal concert viewing.
