Squaw Valley Conditions Report: Juneuary

Today was classic Juneuary conditions.  Unfortunately I missed Tahoe’s fleeting good conditions from last week.  I just got back from Japan where I really can’t complain about anything, but regardless of the fact that I was skiing waist deep pow for the last 2 weeks, today was pretty darn fun.  I don’t know if its the fact that the sun is still so low in the sky in January, but even when it was 60ish degrees at the base, the snow at the top of squaw was chalky and fun.

Squaw Valley, CA Conditions Report: Christmas Weekend Pockets of Fun

Squaw Valley recently received around 4-5″ of fresh snow right in time for the christmas crowds to enjoy at least a little bit of soft wintry snow.  Everyone I know in Tahoe was hoping for a storm before christmas, and though it was small, we got one.  It certainly spiced some things up again for a few days. The day started out slow.  I rode Squaw 1 from the village and made my way to Siberia.  Siberia was alright, the groomer off the top was pretty fun, but it was shaved off and a bit icy at the top.  I got a call from a buddy that he was at Shirley, so I headed over to Gold Coast and met up with him at the top of Shirley where he proceeded to tell me about a sick double off Granite.

Squaw Valley Conditions Report: 4 Inches of Fun

At 6:30am on Wednesday morning, Squaw Valley reported receiving 4″ of snow.  At 7:30am they updated their reporting to 2″ noting, “We jumped the gun…”  Surprisingly enough, Squaw had not actually jumped the gun.  It skied like 5″ and was one hell of a day! The morning was best.  While in line at the Funi eager crowd members shared rumors that both Siberia and Emigrant would be on maintenance hold for some reason.  I didn’t know what to expect, but Squaw Valley Patrol did a great job of getting terrain open right around 9am.

VIDEO: Future Freeheel – A Telemark Short by Ty Dayberry

Telemark skiing has always been a niche sport.  One that attracts people that like a surfy feel of the turn and being different than the status quo.  Ty Dayberry caught on to these aspects of the sport from a young age and has been on the forefront of progression in the Telemark industry for years.  In his film “Future Freeheel” he discusses why he likes to telemark, how telemark skiing is its own sport, and who/what influences the way he rides.  The film showcases telemark skiing from Erik Nordin, Andreas Sjobeck, and of course Ty Dayberry and sets the stage for an emerging generation of ripping tele skiers.

VIDEO: Freeride Telemark Skiing | Squaw Valley, Tahoe, Alaska – Bevan Waite’s 2016/17 Season Edit

Last season was pretty insane to say the least in Tahoe.   It also happened to be my first year moving up to Squaw Valley and I could not have picked a better year.  Squaw Valley had the most snow it’d had in 6 years which opened my eyes to what was possible to ski there.  Here’s to a season of pushing my boundaries with broken bindings ;).  Hope y’all like the video.
