“At California’s Squaw Valley resort it’s been a brutal start to the season.  Only 5 of 170 trails have any snow at all.”- NBC Nightly News

Squaw Valley’s conditions are so exceedingly poor that they have sadly attracted national attention.  NBC came to Squaw this week to document just how much we are struggling in Squaw Valley.  NBC aired this telecast last night on their national “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.”

Andy Wirth did his best to paint a happy picture and remind us all of what we already know:  one big Sierra Nevada snowstorm can put us right back in business.  That’s what we’re all praying for.

“All it takes is one 4-foot snowfall and everybody’s memories will be erased” – Andy Wirth, CEO of Squaw Valley

Erase our memories big snow…erase our memories…
