Mitchell Chadwick client Troy Caldwell and Squaw Valley Announce Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows Base-To-Base Gondola
Mitchell Chadwick client Troy Caldwell and Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC Announce Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows Base-To-Base Gondola
Mitchell Chadwick client Troy Caldwell owns White Wolf, the land located between Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows. In a long-awaited development, Mr. Caldwell has agreed to partner with Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC to construct a base-to-base gondola connection over White Wolf, connecting the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski resorts. This interconnect will allow visitors to access both mountains without having to drive between the two resorts by car, and skiers and riders will be able to ski both mountains with a single lift ticket or season pass.
“Connecting Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows through White Wolf is literally bringing my long-time dream to fruition.” “I’ve waited years for this to happen, and am pleased to have reached an agreement with Squaw Valley Ski Holdings to allow skiers and riders to easily move between these two incredible mountains.”

Troy Caldwell, Mitchell Chadwick and Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC will work with mountain planners at SE Group to design and construct the base-to-base gondola connection. The design will focus on reducing the overall footprint and visual impacts to the area, e.g., design elements include minimizing the number of lift towers and eliminating the need to construct access roads. These sustainable planning efforts will reduce the amount of timber removal and vegetation clearing needed for construction and minimize impacts on watershed, soils, and natural resources throughout the development area. The plans for the lift corridor are expected to be completed by summer 2015.
