Submitted by Sam Bauman on Sat, 11/26/2011 - 5:05pmThe motion picture "Hugo," now playing at the Horizon Stadium Cinemas at South Shore Lake Tahoe in Stateline, is a holiday movie that kids and adults can enjoy.

Submitted by Sam Bauman on Wed, 11/16/2011 - 11:26am
The previously announced transaction between KSL Capital Partners and JMA Ventures which joins Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows under one operating company has officially closed.

The two resorts will be connected by convenient, complimentary shuttles that will provide transportation between the two resorts.
“Since announcing the merger, the Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley joint pass products –the Tahoe Super Pass and Tahoe Super Six, and Squaw Valley’s $50 million Renaissance, the response from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive” said Andy Wirth, Squaw Valley’s president and CEO.“The opportunity to experience these two incredible mountains, each with their own unique spirit and character, through one pass and one ticket has resonated deeply with our guests,” said Wirth. Wirth will take the helm as the president and CEO of Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC, the newly formed parent company of both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows.
