Alterra Mountain Company has announced that the Base-to-Base Gondola will begin construction this summer. This base-to-base connection will take skiers and riders between Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows in about 16 minutes. The Gondola will have eight-passenger cabins and the capacity to move 1,400 people per hour. It will offer access to 6,000 acres of skiing and riding for all skill levels. The $60-million project includes two main terminals, two mid-stations and additional base area improvements targeted to enhance the guest experience.
There will be intermittent closures along the Five Lakes and Western States trails through August. | Updates blog.squawalpine.com
