VIDEO: Biggest Air of the Year at Squaw Valley? | The Chimney Last Friday, Squaw Valley Ski Patrol gave us The Chimney at Squaw. It was only open for about 10 minutes but that was enough time for 4 guys to hit the Chimney Sweep and for Josh A to buck up, show everyone up, and hit The Loft. The Loft is a big air on big snow years and an enormous air in a low snow year like this one. Josh lined it up, didn’t turn on the upper pad and simply sent it. He wheeled around a bit on the landing then charged full speed straight through all the traverse tracks in […] SnowBrains | April 12, 2015 5 Comments
Squaw Valley Fingers Race April 17th, 2006 And the winner is… Scott Gaffney. Yep, that first guy ripping down like he owns the place is Scott. He pretty much does own the place.

The mountain got pummeled with snow all season and things filled in in ways that we’ve only seen that year. […] SnowBrains | April 25, 2014 7 Comments

I had a blast skiing around with old friends and new friends alike and was really impressed by some of the skiing by young whippersnappers like […] Kyle Cota | April 14, 2014 6 Comments
Video of Skiing Chimney Sweep @ Squaw Sunday! | Biggest Air at Squaw This Year? words by Tilen Lane (title by SnowBrains…biggest air at Squaw was actually when Tilen hit Center Line an hour after this video…) I spent the morning texting most of my skiing friends saying “lets shred the palisades” and even after pleading with them on the hill, none of my friends were willing to hike all the way from Gold Coast […] SnowBrains | April 23, 2013 10 Comments
Closing Day @ Squaw Valley 2012/13 | Chimney Sweep & Center Line Go Down! That’s correct snow-starved humans. Squaw Valley USA is officially closed. But, Squaw closed in true Squaw fashion with 2 of its gnarliest lines going down on its final day. Yes, Chimney Sweep & Center Line were skied and stomped. It’s kind of hard to believe that they were skied in these conditions, but it shows the level of skiing/riding still […] SnowBrains | April 22, 2013 5 Comments
