Mountaineer

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!

Mountaineer is the best! I’ve been leasing in Squaw Valley for 10 years and this is really making a difference in terms of traffic, parking and convenience. Service is prompt and drivers great. Thank you so much for offering this service. Keep it going!

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.

Very good idea for the service. Trucks are spacious and the drivers are nice. App is very easy to use. However I only give 3 stars because of the terrible back end. Waiting times are unreliable and you can end waiting 30 minutes in peak hour when it announces 8 minutes. The most annoying part is that it keeps adding time when you have 4 or 5 minutes left. This makes me consider taking my car anyway.

Great service for transportation within Squaw Valley if we knew when the shuttle will come. Unfortunately, the app does a very poor job of forecasting how long it will take for the shuttle to arrive for pickup. It kept changing from 15 min to 18 min, then to 5 min, and back to 12 min in a matter of few minutes. Not very comforting when we are waiting for a ride. The app does *not* show where the shuttle currently is. Also, we need to rush out after dinner since it ends service at 9pm.
