Tahoe National Forest is pleased to announce the Ski with a Ranger education program at Alpine Meadows at Palisades Tahoe. Intermediate level and above skiers and snowboarders are invited to join a Ski with a Ranger tour beginning Friday, Jan. 19 through early April or as conditions allow. One-hour tours will depart every Friday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. from the Alpine Meadows Base Lodge deck, weather permitting. 

Tours are led by knowledgeable conservation education staff with topics covering the cultural and natural history of the area.
