Mountaineer is free, I know, craaazy. When I’m ready to hit the slopes I just open up the app and a vans gonna be there within 15 minutes. The drivers are always super friendly and I have had some awesome conversations. Sometimes when traffic gets backed up it can be inconvenient, but it’s much better then driving yourself. On some days when too many people are using cellular, the app can get jammed up. Even with this being said it is still a really great service and I highly recommend it.

Apps loads quickly, with accurate time estimates, continuous updates on ride arrival. Has the option of calling. A much needed service in the area. Would be nice if the service extends after 9pm, may be to 10pm during weekends and holidays would be even better. Had some initial problems with the accuracy of the ‘current location’ so had to cancel and re-select using the ‘hotels’ menu. Drivers are friendly and efficient. Great service!

Wow, This service makes squaw. The app and service are wonderful. I’m a harshish critic normally so that is saying something. The wait time accuracies have improved over last year. The simplicity of the UI is great. I just want the alpine shuttle real time location to be added to help squaw residents who want to use the shuttle to alpine also to save that drive. Please add this or create another app. Thanks!

This service doesn’t bridge Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows. The service essentially provides two disconnected loops — one within the Squaw Valley and one with the Alpine Meadow valley. It doesn’t go outside these valleys to other desired locations. So, it effectively is a last mile service that doesn’t do very much to tackle the transportation issues of the region (removing cars from roads) or offer a better alternative to existing services for locations outside one’s valley. I had high hopes for this service, but was really disappointed when I actually tried to use it. If you spend all your time within one valley, I suppose it’s great.
