Our Website Gets a New Look

Since we are achieving many milestones this year at Alpine Village,  it's only appropriate that we add to the list with a bright new look to our website. Many new features have been added to reflect the vibrant community coming this June to downtown McCall.

The new Floorplans section makes it easier to browse home designs by number of bedrooms and building location. Video clips have been included throughout the site that describe the many amenities here. We have also prepared a new Vacation Rentals page, which will soon allow you to reserve a condominium for your next trip to McCall - stay tuned for more information and an online booking system.

Have a look around.  If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment or send me an email at cory@alpinevillagemccall.com.

Great Times at the 2009 McCall Winter Carnival

The Winter Carnival has been in full swing all week, with one of the largest turnouts in the festival's history for last weekend. Attendees came in droves to view the impressive ice sculptures and attend the full slate of community, arts and sporting events throughout town.

Alpine Village was a popular stop throughout the weekend. The party tent was  set up at the entrance to the pedestrian plaza with City Market selling tasty treats and lunch items and offering complementary hot cocoa and coffee. Cory gave numerous tours of the Firetower Building, set for occupancy on June 1st.

Lively crowds gathered during the Mardi Gras parade and came by to see our award-winning "Fantasy Forest" snow sculpture. Cool weather all week has kept all the sculptures in town looking amazing, so stop by and see this impressive display of icy art if you are coming up to McCall this weekend.

Highlights this weekend include snowbike racing at the McCall Golf Course, live music at Depot Park, the kid's snowman building contest and closing ceremony fireworks.  Our information center is open all weekend, so come by and say hello.
