Alpine Meadows is a community in New Westminster Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Alpine Meadows is located at 50.1500°N, 122.9667°W.

Alpine Meadows rests in a cradle of slopes, where the land rises and falls with a gentle insistence, hinting at the broader, more dramatic contours of the surrounding mountains. It lies 3.8 km north-north-west of Whistler, BC (from Whistler, BC: bearing 346°T), and is situated 14.5 km north-east of McGuire. The air here often carries the crisp, clean scent of pine needles and damp earth, a subtle perfume that deepens as mist rolls in from the higher elevations, softening the edges of the dense evergreen forests that cling to the hillsides. Sunlight, when it breaks through, paints the landscape in shifting patterns of emerald and gold, illuminating the occasional clearing where hardy wildflowers push through the undergrowth, a quiet rebellion against the encroaching shade. The very character of Alpine Meadows seems carved by the persistent flow of water, with small streams, born from unseen springs higher up, tracing silver threads through the valleys, their murmur a constant, soothing presence. The history of Alpine Meadows is deeply intertwined with the discovery of precious resources and the enduring spirit of those who sought to harness them. While the initial allure was the promise of mineral wealth, the true character of Alpine Meadows has been shaped by its more sustainable embrace of the land. Today, its economy hums with a quiet resilience, drawing strength from small-scale logging operations that respect the forest's cycles, and from the burgeoning appeal of its natural beauty to those seeking respite. The echoes of past endeavours can still be felt in the sturdy architecture of older buildings, and in the shared understanding among residents that life here is a partnership with the formidable, yet benevolent, natural world.
