All operations are weather and conditions permitting
Squaw’s base is reported to be 23″ right now after 19″ of new snow in the past 7 days. The storm hitting right now if forecast to drop 8-16″ of snow on Squaw and Alpine. Cold temps this week will allow the resorts to operate their snowmaking which should add nicely to the base layer.
