Tahoe City, CA – Alpine Meadows’ Snow Golf Tournament will tee off at 9 a.m. this Saturday at the top of the mountain off the California ski and snowboard resort’s Summit Express chairlift. This annual spring event features the only mountaintop snow golf course around and combines skiing or snowboarding with golf.

The nine-hole course will start at the top of the Summit Express chairlift off of the Sunspot run and will weave its way down the mountain to the bottom of Alpine Bowl Chair.  Players will be provided scorecards, pencils, clubs and tennis balls. All competitors must be wearing skis or a snowboard to navigate from hole to hole, but will be allowed to remove one foot to drive, chip and putt.

Winners will receive prizes including golf rounds at Old Greenwood, Gray’s Crossing, Coyote Moon, Tahoe Donner Golf Course and Resort at Squaw Creek, in addition to Alpine swag and more. The grand prize will include a two-night stay at the Mission Hills Country Club in Palm Springs for two people including two rounds of golf each day at golf course of choice (Mission Hills, Indian Wells or Desert Falls).

Registration starts at 9 a.m. at the top of the Summit Express chair and is free with a lift ticket or season pass. All scorecards will be entered into a raffle beginning at 3 p.m. on the Sun Deck. A live performance by Shotgun Wedding Quintet will also take place on the Sun Deck from 1 to 4 p.m.
