—————————————————————————-
Squaw Valley ski resort just opened after skiing and riding operations were on hold all morning during a search and rescue mission.
At 9 pm Thursday, March 1, 2018, a Squaw Valley guest was reported missing to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office. According to the resort, the guest’s last known location is a late-afternoon season pass scan at the base of the Squaw Creek chair.
Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue conducted an overnight search, which was then postponed due to high avalanche hazard.
At daylight Friday, Squaw Valley Ski Patrol teams conducted avalanche hazard mitigation work in the area. At that point, a search and rescue effort with Placer County Sheriff’s Office, Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue, and Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows was resumed.
The resort was encouraging skiing and riding guests to visit Alpine Meadows.
We hope for a positive outcome.
PLEASE NOTE we have an active search & rescue happening at #squawvalley and operations will be delayed. We advise guests to head to #alpinemeadows this morning. #squawlifts #alpinelifts
