NEW YORK, NY, January 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Some mountains are known for their wild side, while others offer a milder experience that the whole family can enjoy. At Alpine Meadows Ski Resort, the best of both worlds promises a mountain experience that is just right for everyone.
The popular Lake Tahoe, CA mountain resort opened in 1961 to provide a relaxed, family-friendly ski experience and has consistently delivered thrill-seekers some of the country's most exciting winter sports memories. Famous for waist-high powder in dramatic, old growth forests, the mountain has something for everyone and has a host of fantastic kids' programs, and a family ski zone.
But when JMA Ventures who owns Alpine Meadows wanted to rebrand their mountain experience they chose NY based marketing agency, The Concept Farm as their partner in creating a category defying campaign designed to show off the innovation and fun of skiing their mountain - making Alpine Meadows a place you can't get out of your head.
"Our focus for the 'Mountain Head' campaign was on developing a whole new crop of young Alpine Meadows users. The skiing population is aging, and we embraced the breakthrough power of 'We Know What You're Thinking' to connect with a new generation of Alpine Meadows loyalists," says Blake Olson, President at the Concept Farm.
The mountain is consistently ranked as one of the nation's top resorts by SKI Magazine and is located in the breathtaking Tahoe National Forest. Thirteen lifts, including a high-speed detachable six-passenger chair serve the roughly 400 acres of groomed intermediate and expert off-trail terrain with access to the mountain's more than 100 designated runs. Alpine Meadows also has a terrain park and a superpipe; ski and snowboard instruction are available, and special interest clinics, such as mogul, powder, telemark, high performance, freestyle, early season warm-up, and men's and women's clinics are also offered. The resort features a full service rental and repair shop, a full-service restaurant, bar and lounge, and more.
"The Concept Farm offers the perfect blend of original ideas and passion for Alpine Meadows," said Deanna Gescheider, director of marketing and sales at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. "We're so pleased with the fun nature of the campaign. It will certainly make for a great way to interact with our guests. The fact that the team at The Concept Farm loves skiing at Alpine Meadows makes the partnership very dynamic."
This year when Alpine Meadows opened for the season on December 10th, it was the biggest opening day ever. Visitors found not just the new 'Mountain Head' campaign but also record breaking snowfall, and lots of new amenities for snow lovers including a redesigned children's center, state-of-the-art grooming machines called "The Beast", an upgraded lodge with a 7,500 square foot sundeck which includes a new fire-pit as well as new 'Fast Trax Automatic Ticket Purchasing' offering the latest convenience through the Alpine Club, the resort's frequent skier benefit program.
"For Alpine Meadows we drew on our expertise at driving traffic because we develop nimble brands and stay one step ahead of our clients' evolving needs", says Blake Olson. "We leveraged our experience from Windstream Telecommunications, fighting and winning the retail cable wars and our work with Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports resort in Orlando, Florida to combine strategic insights with great creative and integrated media to produce results."
"We think it's an awesome campaign and one that will really connect with skiers across the West," says Kent Hoopingarner, Alpine Meadows general manager.
Alpine Meadows Ski Resort is located six miles northwest of Tahoe City, 45 miles west of Reno and 200 miles east of San Francisco. Stay-and-ski packages are available at many Reno-Tahoe hotel resorts.
