Snow blankets the mountians but weather is tricky through the week

Snow sifted onto Mount Laguna, bringing the first snow of the season amidst rain storms and blustery temperatures that dipped to 25 degrees last weekend.  This forecast continues with another snow shower this evening on the mountain.  However there will be a warming trend over the next ten days including a promise of mostly sunny weather on Christmas all over Alpine, the back country and the mountains.

Elite Elvis gets Alpine up and on the dance floor

The last concert of the season brought Alpine out to enjoy “The King of Rock and Roll”. Elite Elvis, performed by James Kruk touched the hearts and souls of every concert attendee at the park. His charisma was felt by every lady present, and even the men reveled the reminiscence of Elvis in his prime.

This is the second time Elite Elvis has been a part of the Summer Concerts, and at this last concert, Kruk joined the crowd, danced with the audience and even sang to Carmen Lewis, who turned 99 this year.
