About
The Ultimate Ski Resort Strategy Board Game
Alpenglow is finally opening its mountain to skiers and has invited you to build its ski areas. Take on the role of a ski area mogul and compete to grow your ski area into the premier resort on the mountain.
Compete against your fellow ski resort tycoons and race to build the best ski area by building chairlifts and assigning runs on the mountain while developing the adjacent town to attract skiers. Open your ski area and run your chairlifts to generate revenue in money and Victory Points.
There is a catch though! Only the tycoon with the most successful ski area after 2 seasons (10 turns total) takes over management of the mountain. Find synergies to make the most out of each turn and maximize your resources. The winner is the one with the most victory points from buildings, chairlifts, delivered skiers, and the completion of your goal cards.

Reviews
"Simple mechanics coupled with complex strategy bring a rewarding experience to playing the game but with just enough RNG to give less experienced players options to claim victory."
- Jason and Adam (Table Top Vibes)
“You ever play a game that you feel like flew under the radar but it’s really really good? ... From a unique theme to gorgeous art to variable play styles to tough choices, I really fell in love with this after my first play.”
- Joel (@thedicedonion)
"Even though the actions you go through on your turn are very concise and logical, the amount of depth in this game is awesome. Every turn feels important and there are a lot of options to choose from. We really enjoyed planning our turns in advance to get the best turn possible every time."
- Colin (@despelbreker)"Alpenglow mixes area control with pickup and deliver set in a idyllic winter village. The game plays quite quick after the first time you play. There are a lot of points that build into the rich set of decisions players will make during the game."
"This is a perfect centerpiece for a game night especially with a nice hot drink and the fire place going on these upcoming winter nights."
- Bert (Bert's Tabletop Games)
"Best part by far is seeing the mountain change through the game, then physically sending skiers up and down the mountain is fulfilling. Watching the board change in any game is super engaging and seeing it start with basically nothing to ending with tons of runs and chairlifts is exciting and gives a sense of accomplishment even if you don't win."
- Matt Mlinarcik
