Welcome to Lake Alpine's nordic and backcountry skiing winter wonderland.


Just beyond Bear Valley Mountain Resort's alpine skiing opportunities, and Bear Valley Cross Country Resort's miles of groomed XC trails, lie thousands of acres of spectacular Sierra skiing terrain in the Mokelumne and Carson-Iceberg Wilderness areas in the Stanislaus National Forest - with several miles of marked trails, and countless opportunities of backcountry travel.

Whether it's you're first day on XC skis, or you're looking for a week of winter camping in the high country, Lake Alpine has something for you.

This website is maintained by the Lake Alpine Nordic Ski patrol, committed to making nordic skiing (and snowshoeing and winter hiking) in and around Lake Alpine safe and enjoyable.  Please let us know how we can improve this site to better serve you!
