Getting to Squaw was a mission today. Not being home for weeks I was amping for a powder day at my home mountain so I was on it first thing. An hour of digging out slowed things down and I didnt get to the chair until 8am but was suprisingly 5th in line. One ski patroller said it was the biggest overnight snow he has seen in his 27 years at the mountain. Alpine didn't even open. Amazingly Red Dog was open by nine and KT by ten. The first few hours were as good as it gets.
