squaw valley may 28th, 2011

Squaw was, well, awful today. Windy, coldy, icy, and snowy all day.  Almost June, huh?  Almost June my ass!  La Nina is a vicious, spiteful little girl.

It’s currently 39F at the base of Squaw, it’s windy, and you know those snow pellets that blast you in the face and sting like wasps? Yeah, those have been happening all day.

We’re supposed to pick up 9 inches of snow tonight with a low of 23F.  That makes for some low density snow that will likely leave us shattering our souls on the ice beneath the new snow tomorrow morning. But, you never know.  Maybe it’ll dump tonight and we’ll have a full-on powder day tomorrow.  I could work with that.
