Squaw Valley Conditions Report & Photo Tour: 6-Inches of New Snow Yesterday was pretty good at Squaw Valley. It snowed about 3 inches the afternoon before yesterday and then another 3 inches over night. Honestly it didn’t really ski like 6 inches though. I’d say it felt more like 4 on top of ice but in the spots where it blew around and collected, you wouldn’t hit the bottom.  I started out the day at KT-22, did two laps before heading to Squaw 1 and then to Siberia. KT’s chairlift side was actually pretty good for about half the run before it turned into ice bumps slightly dusted with new snow. Siberia was where it was at. Headwall nor the slot opened, but the reverse traverse to Sunbowl to C2 bowls was good to go as well as the high traverse around Headwall face to Classic chute.  You definitely had to ski with a bit of caution yesterday due to it being variable soft to rock hard ice, but all in all it was a darn fun day. C2 bowls was definitely my favorite laps of the day, though I heard all of granite opened including the peak and that was pretty good too. Conditions Report Bevan Waite | February 20, 2018 1 Comment

Squaw Valley Conditions Report: Chalky Icy Fun Obviously February has not delivered much snow to Squaw Valley this year. We recently got a bit of colder weather and a few snowflakes. It didn’t accumulate much but a few inches of new blanketed the slopes earlier this week. Today all that new snow has been skied off, but it is still quite chalky and fun. The groomers are best, especially off Siberia, fast and smooth, you can rip em. Of course the Gold Coast park is open if you’d prefer to catch some air.
