It’s Dumping…again!
The Squaw Snow Phone (530.583.6955×1) says we got 7 inches overnight and 16″ since yesterday morning. KT is open until the bitter end. Other than that it’s Granite Chief and your hiking boots. I can hear avy bombs from the house, and although the Weather Service isn’t expecting much today the dopplar looks crazy-good for [...]

Heaven, Not Dearth
Tuesday was one of those days. If you’ve been in the Valley on a perfect morning you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t…suffice it to say that the place is its own heaven – both aesthetically and physically – for everyone here. On the drive in, the Valley view opens up [...]

April (and Ski Corp) just keeps on giving… We heard that Silvy was done for the year – that those windy, blown-back-onto-the-chair offloads Sunday afternoon were the Swan Song. But bright and early, the Snow Phone announced that she was a go. After my first lap in there, Patroller Sean joked that there were more [...]

So in case you’re wondering what’s going on…Join the Club! Some Tahoe weather geeks mentioned that ‘a big northerly storm’ might dip south enough to hit us and thankfully they were right.

Potential for freshies in the Chimney Sweep
So this past Monday was the Jobless Set’s turn to enjoy the insane conditions that we’ve had since…oh let’s say December! The 500′ vertical swath of terrain known as ‘The Palisades’ opened fresh this morning and I saw everyone from the unemployment line except they were all in duct-taped [...]

Here’s another video from my man Miles Clark. He has been crushing it this season. I’m hoping that getting a pair of his skis will make me better – ha ha!
Here’s how he described what you are about to see:
“Okay, this really was the best day of the year (Th. 3/4/2010). Crazy dry snow, landings [...]
GNAR is on and the gloves, I mean clothes, are off!!
Today began the first-ever big-money game of GNAR, another hilarious brainchild of Shane McConkey. You can find GNAR in Robb Gaffney’s absolutely incredible book, Squallywood. If you spend any amount of time up here, especially at Squaw, you need to have a copy. It explains the craziest lines at Squaw with detailed directions on how [...]

Just a nice place to be…
Today was ridiculous – a shotgun opening of just about every lift at 9a and what was new? Over 2 feet of the fluffiest, nicest, seemingly-non-California-est pow you’ve ever seen. And it was a bit of a surprise for anyone who wasn’t in the Valley yesterday. This was probably the [...]
