Alpine Meadows, which generally attempts to stay in operation until late May, is noted for its exquisite spring skiing and snowboarding. For $139 – less than the price of three daily adult lift tickets – you can ride to your heart’s content with the Alpine spring pass. The full-access pass kicks in March 30 and is good until season’s end. The purchase price can be used toward a full season pass next winter.
