Snow Sports Action from the Mountain to Your Computer
Friday, May 21st 1999
Spring has rolled easily into some warm early summer weather. Those still interested in winter sports have to get up early to get the best conditions. There is a weather summary page on the Squaw web site that is a little gem at this time of year. Check the over-night low - if it is 32F or lower you can take your time and get out there by 9 or 10 depending how soft you like it - if it does not freeze it is best to get up the 1st Tram at 8am for a bit of fun before things get too wet. The sun is really high in the sky and daylight lasts a real long time in May, so the pool can be real inviting at this time of year.
FYI: Squaw Valley is on spring schedule. There are discounted tickets and limited lift operations that run from 8am to 3pm. The pool and hot tube will be popular late in the day after spring halfpipe (Belmont) riding, sessioning Granite and Shirley, or hiking out to acres of fresh sun baked corn snow.
Here is some mid AM action from this week at the Belmont pipe.

I can't say this enough -
This is the best time of year to enjoy the uncrowded slopes of Squaw Valley and get to ride while wearing minimal amounts of clothing. The sun is super strong this time of year, so please feel free to wear lots of sunscreen.
