Mild><![CDATA[Mild and wild. That's Alpine Meadows in a nutshell. With unique kid's programs, holiday races and a family ski zone, the mild mannered among us have plenty of options at Alpine Meadows while Tahoe's most famous open-boundary policy, guided out-of-bounds tours and waist-deep powder through old growth forests are as wild as it gets.Alpine Meadows features 1213 lifts (including one high-speed sixpack) so most of the resort's 21002400 skiable acres are easily reached, although a little hiking is required to reach some of the hard-core terrain. But with over 400" of annual snowfall, powder hounds have plenty of incentive to get to those hard-to-reach areas.As Alpine Meadows is just six miles outside of Tahoe City, lodging options are plentiful and the nightlife is non-stop. As many visitors have said, a trip to Lake Tahoe encompasses more than just great skiing and riding.
