Squaw Valley has added the chairlifts Granite Chief & Gold Coast to this week’s operations schedule starting today.

“We wanted to share the good news with you that we will be adding Gold Coast (including the terrain park) and Granite Chief to the ops schedule starting tomorrow for rest of the week! Have fun out there!” – Squaw Valley

The past two days Squaw only had Big Blue and Shirley Lake running at Squaw Valley.

The addition of Granite and Gold Coast allows access to Squaw Valley’s terrain park as well as Squaw’s best available skiing terrain.  This is a big move as Squaw is a legendary spring skiing destination and now skiers and riders can take full advantage of Squaw’s best features.

This change in operations was triggered by many skiers and riders asking Squaw if they could please open more of the mountain up this week to allow for more variety.  Squaw responded by generously opening Gold Coast and Granite and giving them what they wanted.  Thanks Squaw.

The Pool and Hot Tub will be open on Saturday.  Bring those swim suits.
