Crash
After 36″ of snow in 24 hours, people were getting after it at Squaw – hitting the chutes and hucking cliffs. Gunner Newquist hucked a 100+ foot cliff below Tram Bowl (High Camp) near Silverado lift.

It definitely was not pretty, but he hucked a huge cliff and skied away. In the air, he started out face first before landing on his back and creating a classic “Squaw hot tub”.
Based on his performance and landing, it makes me think that in those snow conditions, I could have taken a red saucer off the same cliff, tossed the saucer in mid-air, landed on my back in the deep pow, and walked away. What do you think?
LAME!
A word that meant “Native American woman” that was at some point used as slander, probably in Hollywood when the Cowboy & Indian films were popular. Now we have to back peddle and change history because the slang usage of the word has upset people?

The word Squaw is no longer part of the dictionary.
Arrest these folk!
