Squaw

Today we heard that there was $25 lift tickets for Tahoe employees over at Squaw Mountain. So I did my best impression of a Northstar Lifty, got a ticket and went shredding there.





This hill is insane. Lifts go up sheer cliffs, and there is drops and chutes everywhere with crazy powder. First we jumped on the gondola. It holds 110 people and takes you up 2000ft in about 8 minutes. It was a good opportunity to get a good view of the mountain (yes, that is a cliff we are going over in the gondola).



We went for a hike up the hill into an are filled with drops and cliffs. I have never hit a run where you can do 7 cliff drops in a row. All of them huge. Was really fun.





Pick your cliff drop line!



Check out how gnarly the lifts are here.

STEEEEEEP tree run -



After a burrito for lunch Kumara decided she wanted to go tree climbing while we were waiting for the boys to come.







Squaw is an awesome mountain and one of the most extreme terrains I have ever seen. Hopefully will go back again before the end of the trip.
