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.
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.






Haha fuckin squaw gapers. One pow day, 50 unnofficial posts, now rain. Your all pretend wannabee skiers. Try jaxkson

troll. and one who continuously makes a typo while trying to spell Jackson. Jackson’s pretty rad, it’s also in bumblefuck.
Bumblefuck is better than California.
doesn’t jackson close in two weeks?
squaw is THE spring skiing capital of the World! we’ll be skiing silky corn snow till may when the rest of the resorts are closed down. remember jackasson closed way early last year? too bad.
ARAPAHOE BASIN FOOL!
what?! in two days it goes from best of the season to shit! what is up?
fag. it’s a new day. check the quiver for slushy bump skis.
what are the best slushy bump skis?
If only jackson had women and i could grow weed i would move there in a heart beat… Ill stick with living in cali and making enough money to go ski cham, verbier jackson, squaw snowbird and big sky every year
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

Repent
Rep-pent
“coupla”? Is that a word or did your lazy ass mean “couple of”?
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.
April 15th!? For real???????
