Sleeper Powder Day: Squaw Conditions Update + Photo Tour If you hoot and holler but no one is at Squaw Valley to hear it, do you really make a sound? That’s the question that came to mind yesterday as Squaw was EMPTY…and with over a foot of fresh on the ground conditions were GREAT. The morning started off a little slow with the upper mountain on stand by, but KT was holding some deep pockets, and harbored no line. And by the time a […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | February 28, 2014 3 Comments

Triple Over Edge Powder Day @ Squaw: Conditions Update + Photo Tour We were all starting to worry, but it turns out the sky over California can still precipitate.ย Squaw received a few inches of new snow on Saturday night bringing a very welcome white blanket to the valley and making Sunday the deepest day of 2014.ย However, it was nowhere near the dump we so desperately need at this point.

Squaw Conditions Update: Will they have enough snow to open in 12 days? Squaw’s opening day is now just 12 days out, but by the looks of things its going to take a miracle to make that happen. ย While up north the Pacific North West continues to get pummeled, we in California continue to wait patiently. ย Over the past few days temperatures have hardly been low enough to make snow. ย This raises the […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | November 15, 2013 9 Comments
