Alpine Meadows Merger
See also: Alpine Meadows (ski resort)In September 2011, Alpine Meadows Ski Resort and Squaw Valley Ski Resort announced their intention to merge ownership. The merger united the two popular ski destinations under common management by Squaw’s Valley’s parent company, KSL Capital Partners, LLC. Alpine Meadow’s parent, JMA Ventures, holds a minority stake. The new umbrella entity for both resorts is known as Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC. It has been discussed in the media that the new company Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC, will seek to eventually combine the two resorts into one mega resort through an agreement with a ski resort located on the mountain connecting Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley, called White Wolf Mountain. This proposed combination is supported by White Wolf Mountain owner Troy Caldwell. If connected via White Wolf, the combined ski area would be the largest resort in America with over 6,000 acres, only slightly smaller than Whistler Blackcomb in Canada at 8,100 acres.

Clear in the cool September morn,”
