Squaw Valley Has Highest Snowfall on Record, Extends Season Through Memorial Day

Squaw Valley is reporting its highest season snowfall on record (which dates back to 1970) this year as the resort nears the 700-inch milestone (they're at around 690 inches now). The last season that was this snowy was 1994-1995, which weighed in at 662 inches. To herald the snow gods, Squaw Valley is extending its 2011 ski season through Memorial Day Weekend (May 30) and offering a Spring Pass for $199, valid from April 4 through the end of the season. If you've already purchased a 2011-2012 season pass, you can add on the Spring pass for $129.

Fun times at the High Camp Swimming Lagoon and Hot Tub, which opens this Friday, no doubt await.  

 

Interesting article but I wish it were more photoes attached to it. Sitting here, in my rent apartment in Vinnitsa, it's hard to imagine how wounderful it must be in mountains now)

Thank you for the tip! Now my boyfriend has no excuse not to go up to Tahoe with me!

Yay! Snow in May!!!

Means 'woman' in Algonquian. Don't like it? Don't go there. More mountains for me.

Global Warming?

Do you know what the real meaning of the word SQUAW is..and if so, would you really want to name a tourist place after that...sheesh.

Anonymous -You are reading it wrong. If you already have a season pass for 2010-11 it is still valid through Memorial Day. You would only need to purchase a Spring Pass if you don't have a current pass. They are referring to people who bought Season Passes for next year.

So a season pass is not realy a season pass how lame,They should call it a couple of seasons pass,which cover fall and winter only,
