Easter Sunday Celebrations
Beacon & Eggs Beacon Search Contest
Combine an Easter egg hunt with an avalanche beacon search practice session, and the result is the “Beacon & Eggs,” beacon search contest at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort on Sunday, March 23. Avalanche beacons will be buried in a one-acre area in at Alpine Meadows. Competitors will proceed to the buried backpacks using their beacons in “search” mode. Competitors work individually or in teams (up to four people), sharing the prizes for recovering the beacon. Competitors redeem a found beacon for incredible prizes from Porter’s Tahoe, The Backcountry, Alpenglow, Mountain Hardware, Cosmo’s Custom Footwerks and the Truckee Sports Exchange. The individual winner of the Alpine Meadows Beacon & Eggs contest will win a 2008 Alpine Meadows Ski Pass.
Free registration is at the Beacon & Eggs tent near the top of Subway Chair Lift (next to the base lodge) from 9 to 11 a.m. The Le Mans-style start is at noon near the top of the Subway beginner lift, adjacent to the base lodge. Raffle tickets will also be sold, and ticket holders will win other great outdoor products and lift tickets. Competitors must provide their own beacons, probes, and shovels. For additional information, call (530) 583.4232 or visit www.skialpine.com.
Squaw Valley Easter Celebrations at the Village at Squaw Valley
Squaw Valley will host an Easter Egg Hunt on the mountain and in the village from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Easter Sunday. This year the annual egg hunt is planned to be better than ever because the Easter Bunny has decided to be a lot more generous with the goodies hidden in the eggs this year. The Easter Bunny will even have a few special Easter Eggs for all of the little tots who might be too young to participate in the Easter Egg Hunt.
There will be 1,000 Easter Eggs filled with many great prizes including Easter candy, stuffed animals and gifts from shops and restaurants in Squaw Valley. The Golden Egg contains a children’s season pass to Squaw Valley USA for the 2008/2009 season. Prizes can be collected from the prize tent located in the events plaza of The Village At Squaw Valley USA. Before you begin the Easter Egg Hunt check out the prize board located at the Prize Tent to see which eggs still haven’t been found, and maybe even some hints about where to look for some of the special Easter Eggs.
The Easter Egg Hunt starts at 9 a.m. when the lifts open and goes all day until the lifts close at 4 p.m. Base area activities are free for everyone. On mountain activities require purchase of a lift ticket.
