Conditions Report
Squaw Valley ski resort in Lake Tahoe, CA received 16″ of new snow overnight on the upper mountain. The Gold Coast and Shirley Lake lifts opened right away while Siberia had some mechanical issues and is still closed, but they are hoping to open it around 1pm.
The new snow was good and dense. Great base building snow. Still very boney out there, so be careful. Up high it was foggy with low visibility. Lower down it was flat light but not foggy. Cloudy overall.
Laps on Shirley were fun and fast in the morning before lines got long. As of 10:00am both the Shirely and Gold Coast lines were quite long as there is no where else to go.
Again, hopefully Siberia can open up this afternoon and spread things out a touch.
Squaw may be able to get a bit more open tomorrow but for sure will have Gold Coast, Big Blue, Shirley Lake, and Siberia open.
Alpine Meadows is hoping to get Summit Chair and Roundhouse open.
Tomorrow will be busy at both places so don’t forget to smile, expect a bit of a crowd, and enjoy the pow.

I had a great weekend,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I went to Sugarbowl on Sat. Thank you Mr. Wirth for providing us the opportunity on a gold pass to experience how a ski area should be operated, on time, no issues, genuinely happy employees, happy, respectful guests. Ticket exchange wasn’t even valid for Sat, guess what, they honored it anyways.
Overheard someone say in special tics @ sbowl when picking up their season pass the employee mentioned the tic exchange to squaw, “I’ll never use those tickets, Squaw is the most unfriendly, unfamily resort”, wow, says a lot of how others really perceive squaw beyond squaws mkting dept.
Kinda funny how that post on sibo breakin down was on Fri dec 12th, then sheet hit the proverbial fan on sat, deedeedeedeedeedeedee.
Lame letter about last Sat from Squaw, Mr. Warm Regards, passing the buck,,,
“I have received multiple assurances, personally, from officials at Liberty Energy,,,,,,”
“I’ve also received assurances from those same representatives from Liberty Energy,,,”
ass,,,,,, in the same paragraph, hahahhahhaa,
Hey Mr. Warm Regards, auxiliary power works fine, especially on beginner lifts like Big Blue,,,, if you keep enough fuel on board.
Cheese and crackers, are you a leader as u say u are or not? Do you really know how to manage a mountain or not? Do u take personal responsibility or not?? Or do u just want to satisfy ur ego and be on shows like undercover boss, always sticking your foot in ur mouth and just try and build hideous monstrosity fake euro village condos for your money-grubbing overlords, thinking that is what community is about??
Bought sbowl pass sat, no more squally sheet show weekends for me
later

hmmm,,, anybody wonder why Squaw would only be third in this group? Thx
Miles, that would be 16 centimeters of new snow. The new hire employee grabbed the ruler with both inches and mm on it, just read it into his report wrong.
Squaw has bigger issues this year than ever, aside from the tired ol workhorse Sibo they keep beating to get up and run, rumor has it, lack of employees will be a major issue once we get a full base and skiing top to bottom, due to the S Americans boycotting Squaw this year for their frustrations at being laid off in January last season.
Heard a couple of well appointed gentlemen in lift line complaining how Northstar never had lines like today. Explained to them that’s the diff between Vail mgmt and B team mgmt.
Summit 6 tomorrow, cause I’m scared ol sibo is just out of gas and don’t want to get stuck on it.
Would never let my kids ride Sibera cause it’s so worn and old and on it’s last breath, hate to have a kid up there for hours in the cold.
Sorry AM peeps, you knew this was coming.
Peace out
