Conditions Report
After 2 storms in one week that dropped 20″ of cold snow, it felt like a mid-winter Saturday at Squaw Valley today. The crowds came out strong, but people seemed to be in good spirits with the great snow conditions and weather. Siberia and Emigrant were basically doing double duty with Siberia giving access to Headwall via Reverse Traverse and Emigrant giving access to Granite off the backside.
Reverse Traverse got us some great snow on North Bowl, Hogsback and Headwall Face. Mainline Pocket and skier’s right of Granite Chief were open all day as well, but the highlight was the opening of the Palisades at around 2pm. The boys were out hucking their meat and we saw some nice blow ups as well on the traverse tracks below.
With clear skies, warm days and cold nights, it looks like we could have some nice spring corn skiing by the weekend. Get after it while you still can!

That drop is causing quite a stir. I got a few vids sent to me and posting in the book soon. 🙂
what the hell did u expect poacher? you are blaming management and employees who had very little to work with due to the driest winter on record. yeah sure, open headwall chair or any other lift that was in dirt just this weekend with all those extra employees that were laid off. Awww, so Jimmy was plowing dirt so you felt the need to poach, brag about it and flame the place you chose to buy a pass at?
Squaw absolutely blows these days. Crowds were bonkers. I got in 4 runs in about two hours. Put the season passes back up to $1k PLEASE!
Lines were more than a joke. 3 runs in 2 hrs is what wirth would call enhanced guest experience?
Full lot, third biggest crowd of season and that was the most lifts they could open?
Shirley and sibo both had issues operating consistently.
Prob cause Jimmy King felt his time this morning was better spent plowing lower mtn down to dirt to prevent peeps from skiing down. Maybe he is just pissed he had to cancel vacation plans cause execo mgmt decided to open a week longer. Was totally lame, rude and just plain wrong.
Wirth doesnt even have a clue cause if he did king-a-ling would be long gone.
Jimmy forgets there are more of us that are tired of his crappy attitude to skiers and we will always win. They will never be able to stop us.
West face was amazing deep and blower. Who were all those who straifed it?
That was for you Jimmy for being the lousiest most grumpy to guests, surliest employee in the ski industry.
Had some great turns but almost not worth it cause of typical squaw pow day s*%t show.
Check out the flames on squaws fb page about it.
Poach Squaw forever
