Squaw Valley, CA Conditions Report: Sassy Silverado & Mischievous Munchkins

Miles Clark | | Post Tag for Conditions ReportConditions Report

Squaw Valley opened Silverado today at 9am.

Silverado = 500 acres of incredible freeride terrain.

The snow in Silverado was great at 9am.

The snow in the sun got cooked relatively quickly, but it was great for a few hours.

‘The Drifter’ was perfect so was ‘Gotts’ and ‘Frogs &ย Toads’.

After 4 runs in Silverado we headed over to Alpine Meadows and skied two laps in The Munchkins. ย We squeaked through ‘M-Zero’ and it was a blast.

Matchstick Productions filmed a ferocious session of big backflips, large 360ยบs, monster hucks, and incredible wipeouts in the Goodwills/Patrol Chute area of Granite Chief Peak.ย ย Pros and Ams alike threw down in true Squaw fashion.

The Palisades did not open today. ย The Chimney all avalanched down to ice during avalanche control yesterday, but the rest of the Palisades is looking excellent! ย The palisades should open tomorrow morning.
