We are really excited about a huge event that will be the first of it's kind here in Squaw Valley. The Freeride World Tour will be making a stop in Squaw Valley February 27 - March 5, 2009. The most exciting news about this event is that it will be held on the Tram Face, an area that has never been open to the public or held a competition of this kind. Squaw Valley USA is the only North American stop on this tour. This will be an incredible event and keep an eye out for live music, parties and celebrations all week. More information is available Here.
What's new this year at Squaw?
Squaw Valley USA has installed a brand new electronic ticketing system that will make getting through the line and onto the chair even faster. We all know that waiting in lines is not something that Squaw Valley is known for but the new ticket system will speed things up even more.
Custom backcountry tours will now be available for groups to book. Certified backcountry guides will take groups of varying sizes and abilities to terrain that is not open to the public.
Parks and Pipes. Squaw Valley USA has completed it's in-ground Rivera Superpipe. Along with that improvement, Squaw has installed power to the Bellmont Night Park so jibbers can enjoy better lighting at night throughout the park.
To get the wheels spinning about the winter, below are some links to videos of great turns made right here in Squaw Valley. Enjoy.
