The last couple of days at Squaw have been pretty sweet! Still not the bottomless hero snow that we all seem to expect on the regular, but on the whole the conditions are good and the mountain is firing. Got out with good buddies Cash Poulsen and Piquet Willard for one hell of a bluebird ski day! That’s Cash and Piquet sending the rock in Main Chute.
Granite Chief Peak opened up today and the snow up there was plenty of fun, a little wind effected in spots but soft and cold all over. Granite Chief bowl is sorta tricky with some of the rocks and undulations of the low tide but all around it was a huge playground today. The sun was out and people were skiing/riding like a bunch of snow starved juveniles.Â
The Palisades have been open. Not a whole lot of takers, but there are some impressive tracks up there and we managed to get a few fun lines out of it today.Â
Other great spots on the mountain right now include Rock Garden, Red Dog Ridge, Hog’s Back, and the entire Horse Trails area. It’s not blower, but it’s pretty rad by this season’s standards. The low snow actually has a lot of features available that get burried fast most seasons. Get out there! It’s a blast right now. Â
