One Run @ Squaw Valley for Timy Dutton | by Scott Gaffney Scott Gaffney hiked up Red Dog at Squaw Valley on Cinco de Mayo, the day of Timy Dutton’s memorial, to ski one run for Timy. Despite the extremely low tide, the run didn’t disappoint: a 360s, some good turns, a built jump, 7 dirt/grass crossings, a couple featured bonked, a helluva fun.
