KT-22 Sunshine melting the Fingers

Welp, it’s officially Spring in California.

It’s 48F at the base of Squaw right now, there isn’t a flake of snow left on any of the trees, birds are chirping, the snow has morphed into isothermic mank in spots, and all the rooftops are dripping incessantly.  Spring.  Spring is here officially and in active reality.

Two days ago we were skiing the deepest, lightest snow Squaw has seen all year.  Then, it rained for a day.  Now, it’s 48F and gorgeous out.  That’s California I suppose.  Don’t like the weather?  Wait 5 minutes.

Squaw Valley USA today

The snow varied today from a bit crispy, to just-right-slush, to 1 foot deep isothermic mank.  Oly lady bumps down to the Exhibition groomer was the best run I found.  Slushy moguls are way more fun than I remembered.

You could be bummed that winter is over.  Or you can embrace Spring and look forward to a coupla weeks of spring skiing in California.

Squaw is likely not going to be open much past April 15th this year, so it’s time to get up here and enjoy it.  This summer is gonna be a hot, dry, damn long one.  Bring out the BBQs, beers, and bikinis.

      The lack of women here does kinda suck ass.

      I believe they close early every year because of forest service land use permits. Kinda blows. There’s enough hikable terrain around to make spring more than fun though.

        Why does Jackson close so early? Let Black Francis tell you why………

        I live cement
        I hate this street
        Give dirt to me
        I bite lament
        This human form
        Where I was born
        I now repent

        Caribou [3x]

        Repent
        Re-pe-ent

        Give me white
        Ground to run
        And foregone
        Lets me knife
        Knife me lets
        I will get
        What I like

        Caribou [3x]

        Repent
        Rep-pent

    Wait, What? It’s only the 21st of March. Last year it snowed until the middle of June. You do realize it will snow more this season right?

    MAMMOTH is the spring skiing capital of the World. Squaw lost that title (they never had it) when the wouldn’t stay open much past the middle of may most years.
