Squaw Valley, CA was absolutely sick this year.  Lines we never get to ski were in.  Snowfall was abundant.  The season went on forever.  So. Damn. Fun.

Squaw averages 174-days of operation per year.  This year, Squaw was open for 200 days!

We were skiing a lot more than we weren’t skiing this year with only 165 days of Squaw not being open…
