High winds left us on the lower mountain for Friday, but […]

Squaw Weekend Video Update: More POWDER!

Dropping in on Middle Knuckle

This past weekend brought conditions of all sorts to Squaw, mostly good but also a touch of bad.  Friday brought with it high winds, high snow levels, and high amounts of closures.  Saturday yielded colder temps, snow flurries throughout the day, and a very surprising amount of ripping snow.  Sunday things tried to go blue, but mainly provided smooth wind […]

Squaw *not* Closing Weekend Video Report: Fun In The Sun

Getting some of the goods on the way out of Main Chute at Squaw

Squaw refuses to let go of winter, with their closing date pushed back to this this upcoming Sunday. However, with only Gold Coast remaining on the schedule (due to the fact you likely won’t be able to make it down to Siberia on Saturday) this past Sunday felt a bit like closing day. People got their final rides in on Siberia (which was the first detachable quad in North America […]

Squaw Valley Report: The RETURN of Winter

Siberia at Squaw Valley yesterday. photo: squaw

Old Man Winter actually decided to make an appearance in Tahoe Easter Sunday, and delivered a tasty 4-10″ of fresh at Squaw Valley. With the new snow and cold temperatures today, the skiing stayed ripping all day with Siberia and the Reverse Traverse holding the best turns of the day. In the afternoon the winds picked up as the approaching storm rolled in, making for some smooth wind buff turns in Siberia Bowl. Patrol also gave us The Palisades at around 1:30 (after the Reverse Traverse crowds died down), and National Chute held some nice fresh turns. Main Chute closed shortly after opening, and Extra […]
