On March 31st, 2010 there was a full-on chinese downhill in 2 feet of powder on Shirley Lake at Squaw Valley USA. Over a hundred people waited for over an hour to fresh powder on terrain so flat that all they could do was go straight.
Yes, the rumors are true. One girl broke her leg in an awkward collision during the chinese downhill. Bummer for her, but what a way to go out.
“Yeah, I broke it in the 2010 Shirley Lake Chinese Downy; it was core.”
