Could be a real headline here if we rally together and launch a successful campaign to get Alpine Meadows Ski Resort to rename a trail in our esteemed honor. What other local blog / band of dirty hippy mountain bikers and backcountry skiers has a bigger presence @ Alpine Meadows than us? VNasty is there EVERY DAY! Nooninator usually has a pass and kneedrops like a mofo. The McDeez have been sighted with frequency, and of course, I practically work there.
The question is which trail should be The Bacon Strip? Red, Green or Blue…
Take a look at the trail map for a finer analysis.
“The trails are special and their names deserve a bit more character,” said Jim Kercher, Alpine Meadows General Manager. I remember working at Alpine in 1975; and even then, people consistently commented that the names needed some more creativity. For the trail re-naming contest, the best suggestions for the new names are going to come from people who ski and ride them on a regular – even daily – basis. The new trail names aim to reflect the strong connection between Alpine and its roots and community,” he added.
So post up a comment with reasons why Alpine Meadows should have run called The Bacon Strip and how unspeakably awesome that would be, and I’ll do our official entry. (be sure to check out the prizes… Which I’d of course share with the team)
