  • Here's What's New at Ski California Resorts for Winter 2019-20
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HERE’S WHAT’S NEW AT SKI CALIFORNIA RESORTS FOR WINTER 2019-20 Resorts invest millions in new chairlifts, lodge renovations, all new food and beverage offerings, signature experiences and much more PETALUMA, Calif. (Oct. 3, 2019) – On the heels of a strong winter season that extended the season of many resorts in California and Nevada—one into late July, Ski California and its 32 member resorts are gearing up for the 2019-20 winter season with significant investments designed to enhance the experience for skiers and riders this season and beyond. This includes a new chairlift, lodge renovations, all new food and beverage offerings, signature on-mountain experiences and events, ways for passionate skiers and riders to save on lift access and much more. “Ski California resorts have continued to invest year over year in facility and on-mountain improvements that enhance the skier experience,” said Michael Reitzell, Ski California president. “This season is no exception, and with the excitement that is already building thanks to early season snowfall, snowmaking firing up at some of our resorts with recent cold temperatures, and plans by at least one of our resorts to open later this month if conditions allow, winter will soon be underway in California and Nevada.” For those who want unrestricted, fully transferable access to all 32 resorts in California and Nevada, the 2019-20 Ski California Gold Pass is on sale now. This pass can be used by anyone with it in their possession and offers zero blackout dates and 50 days of access to each of the 32 ski resorts on the pass.

    Appendix C Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows Base-to-Base Gondola Final Visitation and Use Assessment SQUAW VALLEY | ALPINE MEADOWS BASE-TO-BASE GONDOLA FINAL VISITATION AND USE ASSESSMENT February 2018 Prepared by: SE Group and RRC Associates Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows Gondola Visitation and Use Assessment BACKGROUND Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC (SVSH) has applied to the U.S. Forest Service and Placer County, California for permission to construct a gondola connecting the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski areas.1 The U.S. Forest Service and Placer County are analyzing the potential environmental impacts of this project through a joint Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIS/EIR will analyze direct and indirect effects of the Proposed Action and alternatives to the Proposed Action that would occur on both National Forest System (NFS) lands as well as private lands within Placer County, California. Past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future activities that could affect, or could be affected by, implementation of the Proposed Action and alternatives will be analyzed cumulatively. This assessment is designed to inform the analysis of potential direct impacts of the proposed Base-to- Base Gondola by evaluating the anticipated changes to annual snowsports visitation at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows as a result of the proposed project. This analysis evaluates the anticipated impact on total snowsports visits (i.e., skier visits) and potential changes in the Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows market share expected to specifically result from the installation and operation of the proposed Base-to-Base Gondola. METHODOLOGIES AND DATA Amenities and Attractions At the root of this assessment is the consideration of whether the proposed Base-to-Base Gondola would principally provide an added amenity at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows or if the added resort connectivity that it would provide would be sufficiently unique to act as an attractant to increased visitation.
