(**Update: Â Squaw did not groom the Headwall face today, Saturday, April 2nd, 2016. Â Bummers…)
Yes, you read that right. Â Headwall face is groomed… Â We’ve never seen it groomed before and it’s epic. Â By far the best groomed run Squaw’s ever had.
They started grooming it on Wednesday and it’s been good to go right at 9am. Â
It’s fast, fun, insane, and empty in the morning. Â By the afternoon it gets soft and a bit bumped up but is still damn fun.
Sun Bowl off Headwall is also groomed and is $$$Â at 9am.
Horse Trails and the Bullet have been groomed in the CII/Enchanted Forest area making the Sun Bowl lap exquisite.
The rest of the mountain has been great as well. Â Spring is here, the slush everywhere is great and the West side of KT is terrific in the afternoons.

I have to add. lots of skiers start skiers right of the groomer, ski part way down and then traverse to the groomer. by now they have totally wrecked the chair line area doing that. It attracts intermediate skiers to the pitch in the hundreds. I haven’t seen any speed on it at all. boys?
great conditions report. absolutely accurate. you could set your watch by it.
Are you kidding me? In the late ’80’s nd early 90’s, Headwall was groomed with a teathered cat. I suspect risk management got involved, hence, currently this practice is ‘unbelievable.’ Squaw history is repeatedly re-written,
