Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Need both a season pass and new skis? Alpine Meadows is offering a package with both. You can get a season pass and a pair of Moment skis, on sale through September.

The package includes Moment skis, which come in two styles. You choose between the Tahoe ski, which is Moment's all mountain ski, and the Ruby, which is their powder ski. Both are available in four lengths. The Moment skis, which are hand made in Reno, Nev., rely on an aspen-pine wood core. Each ski is custom branded for Alpine Meadows.

The skis are available with four season passes-three for adults and one for college students. The Unfiltered Alpine Homewood adult pass with no blackout dates costs $1,099 with skis. The Slightly Filtered Alpine Homewood adult pass, which includes blackout dates, costs $849 with skis. The midweek plus Sunday adult pass, which has blackout dates during holidays, costs $749.

College students can purchase a season pass with Moment skis for $649. Blackout dates include Dec. 26 - Jan. 2, Jan. 16-17, and Feb. 13-14. College students much carry at least nine credits.

Both the skis and the season pass are discounted in the package. The season pass and ski packages can be purchased online, via a fax application, which is available online, or by phone. The sale ends Sept. 30, and the package with skis is not available after that date.
