In an October 25th post on their web site Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows announced that they are intending to open the proposed Base to Base Gondola, which they are naming the California Express, for the 2019 – 2020 ski season. In that post they are also asking for loyal resort guests and local community support. This proposal is currently under review by both Placer County and the US Forest Service. It has generated some opposition by environmentalists but seems to have wide support for both local skiers, snowboarders and regular Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows visitors. I personally think it is a great idea and look forward to it’s opening.
On November 3rd they followed up their gain support campaign with a local radio post by Olympic Gold Medalist Jonny Moseley, emphasizing the environmental benefits of this proposed project.
