“Quick ‘n’ Dirty” Squaw Valley Conditions Report: Actually, It Was Pretty Good – In Spots… “Monday at Squaw really played some games with my heart. The morning was quite a disappointment as winds and the rain from the night before made conditions quite tricky. Squaw Creek opened around 10am and Red Dog and Far East opened a little after Noon. KT was on wind hold all morning and I had written the day off as […] Guy LaDouche | March 15, 2016 0 Comments
“Quick ‘n’ Dirty” Squaw Valley Conditions Report: From Heaven to Hell… SUNDAY REPORT (yesterday): “Squaw was a bit slow to get going today with Red Dog and Squaw Creek opening at 930 and KT opening around 11 after an ‘electrical hold’. Once the Mothership was cranking, it was hard to go anywhere else. Alternate Chute 75 was the call of the day with wind blown snow up top and pow bumps […] Guy LaDouche | March 14, 2016 0 Comments
“Quick ‘n’ Dirty” Squaw Valley, CA Conditions Report: Chimney Showtime… “Showtime at Squaw Valley USA. The Palidases (Chimney included), Granite Peak, Mainline Pocket and Eagle’s Nest were all skied yesterday. I think that makes it a good day at Squaw.

Magoos, Funnel, North Bowl (the bottom 70%), Alternate 75 and Headwall Face were all great. The Palisades (sans Chimney) and Granite peak were both opened […] Conditions Report Guy LaDouche | February 23, 2016 0 Comments
“Quick n’ Dirty” Squaw Valley Conditions Report: “Heaviest Sierra Cement I’ve Ever Skied” “The ‘fresh’ was some of the heaviest Sierra cement I’ve ever skied. Got better once it was skied up a bit. Saw tons of people falling, especially early on when they ventured into the untouched. Overall, pretty fun for a 2.5 hour ski day. Also, sounded like Chinese New Year with all the bombs going off.” – Guy LaDouche Squaw […] Conditions Report Guy LaDouche | February 19, 2016 2 Comments
Sugar Bowl, CA Conditions Report + Photo Tour: The Most Snow in California Report from Friday, January 22nd, 2016 Our usual North Lake Tahoe ski areas were crippled by wind on Friday, so we went and looked for some alternatives. Sugar Bowl Resort did not disappoint with pretty much all lifts running (with the exception of Summit). While the snow off piste was quite heavy and punchy, all of the groomed runs were […] Guy LaDouche | January 25, 2016 1 Comment
