Tahoe Storm Delivers, 2+ Feet of SNOW for Squaw! Photo Tour: For the first time this year, Tahoe caught a break and received double the amount of snow forecasted over the weekend. With easily two feet of snow on the upper mountain, the skiing as well as the vibe came alive at Squaw. Snow fell most of Saturday and Sunday brought intermittent clouds and deep snow. As to be expected, the masses were out and hungry for pow but the lines (save Granite Chief on Sunday), remained manageable. On Saturday the only things to open on the upper mountain were Siberia and Shirley (as well as the beginner terrain) […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | March 1, 2015 0 Comments

Febr-uly Squaw Valley Conditions Update + Photo Tour If January in Tahoe is Junuary, then would that mean that February is Februly?

Surprisingly the skiing is still quite fun, with Sun Bowl holding some nice spring turns, corn snow off Granite Chief Peak, […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | February 20, 2015 0 Comments

Squaw Conditions Report: Soft Wintry Snow & Sun After a weekend of high snow levels and a lot of rain, the last push from the storm that hit Tahoe came in a little bit colder, and ended with a decent amount of snow. Squaw reported a storm total of 2′, now while the jury is still out on whether that is true, one thing is for sure, the skiing at Squaw is killer right now. Monday saw the last push of the storm, and some cloudy skies with a bit of snow, Tuesday and Wednesday however went blue, and people got after it. From the Pocket to the Palisades, Tahoe skiers enjoyed wintery snow once again, and everyone was commenting on how the last three days have been the best all […] Conditions Report Jesse Cassidy | February 11, 2015 1 Comment
