Sushi, Skiing, and Fresh!

2013/14 Squaw Valley Highlight Video: “You Won’t…”

Once upon a time there was a great valley located on the westerly edge of Pangea. The valley was known as Squaw by the residing dinosaurs. The winters would bring great snow to the mountains and fed a majestic lake of over 1000 feet in depth. I would like to give a little history of Squaw Valley for those who have yet to visit this majestic land. The dinos feasted on much of the lush vegetation and trees of Squaw Valley. Trees were also used for shelter during the harsh winter months. The dinos were very good at clear-cutting certain areas of the mountain and were always mindful of future generations.

Hard Charging Sketchy Lines @ Squaw Valley

sketchy lines

Ahoy! If you are expecting to see blower pow shots or big couloir lines then you should probably look at a conditions report from Jackson Hole. Even the best editing software can only do so much. If you want to see sketchy lines over rocks with firm landings or old people skiing park then you are in luck! I have had a great time skiing around Squaw the past few days with Mainline Pocket to the terrain park being my favorite combo. Granite Chief still holds some good turns as well. […]
