Though not every local is happy about it, mellow Alpine Meadows and “Squaw-lywood” are now under the same corporate ownership. But with the new arrangement come perks, like better snowmaking and a daily lift ticket that gives you access to both mountains—and an interconnect through the backcountry, which means experienced skiers and boarders can now schuss between both, without hopping a shuttle.
