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
A Hucking Good Time @ Squaw Valley: Video + Photo Update Yesterday was quite possibly the best day of the year at Squaw Valley. Despite the unseasonably warm temperatures (with a high in the mid 50s), the skiing was good everywhere at Squaw. The Slot was smooth and ripping, all of Mainline Pocket was ready to go, and Cornice II bowl had a plethora of fun mini airs. […] Conditions Report Eric Bryant | February 14, 2015 0 Comments
Hanging By A Thread: Squaw Conditions Update + Photo Tour While a week with day time highs in the mid 50’s has done nothing good for Squaw, the skiing is still surprisingly ripping. The majority of the mountain is still nice and smooth, and with high day time temperatures and low nightly temperatures we are in the midst of a nice little corn cycle. The turns off of Headwall and […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | January 10, 2015 0 Comments

The Return Of The Mothership: Opening Day of KT-22 + Squaw Conditions Update Life returned to normal yesterday at Squaw, as The Mothership (KT-22) fired up for the first time of the season. Once things softened up, the skiing was all around ripping. East Face, GS Bowl, even Rock Garden and the Snag Cliffs were all harboring some sweet turns once the sun got on them and softened things up (first thing in […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | February 15, 2014 1 Comment
5+ Feet Of Snow and Big Avalanches: Squaw Photo And Video Conditions Update We were all wondering if the reports from Squaw could be true, with rampant rumors of 5+ feet of snow for the upper mountain after this past storm. After closing on Sunday due to heavy rainfall, the doubts were even greater but today we were able to get into the upper mountain and we certainly received every bit of the 5+ feet. Shirley Chutes were almost buried, no more bushes sticking out, and huge slide paths were everywhere[…] Conditions Report Eric Bryant | February 11, 2014 6 Comments
Squaw Conditions: Sleeper Pow Day With Freezing Snain And Milky Pow While the storm didn’t quite produce the totals we were hoping for yesterday at Squaw, things were still skiing quite well. With 3-5 inches of new snow over night, and some wind to smooth things out the skiing in Shirley lake was most ripping. And, Patrol opened up Rainbow Bowl for the first time […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | February 7, 2014 1 Comment
Smooth Chalk, Rough Bumps, and SNOW On The Way: Squaw Photo + Video Conditions Update With the winds picking up as the storm approaches Tahoe, Squaw saw some chalky goodness today which has been conspicuously absent thus far in the season. In particular, the top half of Shirley Lake was harboring some sweet and smooth turns in places (while in other places she was harboring some sporadic and rather icy bumps). Lift Maintenance has also […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | February 5, 2014 0 Comments
