Take a ride
on the Lake Alpine Resort Taxi. Here is what
the locals are saying about
the ride and
the resorts winter program.
"On Saturday afternoon, a friend invited us along to
ride up to Lake Alpine Resort, in order to check
out the facilities before the storms arrived. After
calling ahead and asking about the “shuttle
service”,
from the locked gate to the resort,
arrangements were made to meet at the gate in 35
minutes. Great!
Steve, one of the new owners, was waiting at the
gate with a 5 passenger bright blue 1977 enclosed
sno-cat, ready to go. He even came equipped
with a “loaner” snow park pass for the windshield of
our car.
The ½ mile ride in the cat was a real treat, as
we’ve never been in one before. As it lumbered
along,
Steve filled in details of all the activities
getting the place ready for winter activities
The resort looks great in winter, helped by the fact
that all the cars and trucks that park in the
lot in the
warm season, are now gone. The surrounding view is
pristine and timeless. This could be 1940,
1960
or 2007. Once inside, we went straight for the
fireplace in the big wood dining room to warm
up a bit.
Then, to the cozy bar, where a few patrons were
chatting.
Steve, Gigi, friends and staff are working real hard
to see their dreams succeed. Some of the cabins
are now open for winter rentals 7 days a week,
and have plenty of heat for the chilly nights
(some even have wood stoves). After a tour of
2 of the cabins (they both looked great for active
families,
were cozy, and neat as a pin), we settled down to a
beer by the fire.
Bar and restaurant open Thursday thru Sunday (and
Monday night football), and 7 days a week during
holidays.
Their phone number is
(209) 753-6350.
Remember to call ahead for shuttle service, if
needed."
