Your Weekend Update

Just when it looked like the season was ending, we get a nice surprise.  A week of 60 degree temperatures was interrupted on Monday night by a late storm that brought over 20 inches of dry snow to Squaw.  Conditions have been excellent mid-week.  While there isn’t much fresh snow left, warmer temperatures this weekend will mean a return to Spring skiing.

UnofficialSquaw’s Top Picks

Silverado, Broken Arrow, and Emigrant did not open this week.  Otherwise, the whole mountain is open and skiing great.  The powder is skied off and temps will be warmer this weekend, so look for continued Spring skiing. 

If temps are warmer in the afternoon, look to hit the chutes over on Cornice 2 and Enchanted Forest.  The tree chutes on C2 are filled in and looking good, and Adrenaline Chute has seen action this week.  The tree runs off Red Dog are looking good as well.
