User Reviews

Mountaineer offers a free, driver-friendly transport option around Squaw/Alpine with an easy app and real-time updates, helping reduce parking and traffic. Many praise its convenience and reliability. However, ETA accuracy is inconsistent, real-time tracking is missing, and communication is weak. Coverage is narrow in area and hours. Backend reliability can cause fluctuating wait times. Overall, a valuable, cost-free service that needs improvements in timing accuracy, visibility, and coverage.

Pros

Free service
Friendly, courteous drivers
Easy-to-use app with clear ride updates
Convenient for getting around Squaw/Alpine and reducing parking/traffic

Cons

Wait times and ETAs are unreliable and frequently change
No real-time shuttle location and limited visibility of occupancy
Limited service area (only Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows) and limited hours
Poor communication channels (no direct phone contact; unclear status)
App backend reliability issues (inconsistent updates, time additions, occasional jams)

Terrible service. No way to communicate with.

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.

We were stranded for 3 hours after an even at Palisades waiting for a shuttle. The worst part was that it said a 90 minute pick up and about every time it dropped to 30 or 20 minutes left…it would jump back to 90. The terrible communication made our situation so much worst because we didn’t truly know when the ride would come. 3 hours in the cold because all the bars and restaurants were full. Truly a terrible service
