Was at Squaw again today. A little later start than I would have liked. I saw @Philpug @Unpiste and @missyc on Shirley around 9:45am. I was taking a few laps with my wife at the time. She called it a day early (around 10:45am) and I tried looking for the PugSki gang, but seemed like you all left early too.

Skied with my daughter till around 12:30pm. On the way down, noticed another set of fresh tracks on Chute-75... And these made perfect figirey-8's top to bottom with yesterday's tracks.
Must be the same person on both days. Amazing.

Today was much softer than yesterday. Maybe no good freeze overnight? It still wasn't sticky when we left though. Always a fun time on the slopes!

Phil left early, but we were skiing until the end at 2pm today. Did not see you guys.

Suns out, buns out?

Loaded just behind this gang on one of the Shirley Lake laps. The guys in banana hammocks had some serious wedgie action going



Of course, someone posted several pics of them on Instagram-

 

[Paul Lutes]

Yeah ........ NO!

May have done my last run of the year. This reminds me of my first
ski run of this year. Seven big adults got on the Gold Coast 6-pack.
I could hardly breathe! or move.

I'll be missing this on the 4th, but planning to be there for closing day on the 7th.

@Eric267 's post reminded me of this new trail that just opened- Incline Village to Sand Harbor (3 miles). Hike/Bike/dogs - all ok. No more parking along 28. Park at trailhead parking near Tunnel Creek Cafe. Multiple designated vista points and shore access points. Runs for the most part between highway 28 and the shore. In the works for 3-4 years and hyped for even longer!

Now they want to extend it to Spooner lake eventually.

What should Squaw's new pool be named? Seriously, Squaw does need a pool. The High Camp pool was too crowded for laps this afternoon. Add the $39 dollar tram ride ($30.05 with our Ikon discounts) to the $10 swim and it's hard to really afford that. Still crowded despite that. Definitely there is demand for a pool here.

Tomorrow we ski on the Fourth!

Needed to be in line sooner.
What this photo doesn't show is the people who are walking are heading to the back of the line.

More importantly, were you in the first 1000 for that free T-shirt?

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Finally on the Shirley lift.

 

[Eleeski]

We timed it wrong. 8.05 the line was back to the tractor shed. Missed the tee shirt by 5000 people. Full parking lot. Today was novelty skiing. Might try again when the slush chases everyone away.

Wow, that makes me feel a lot better about the blackout yesterday (caused by a squirrel v. electrical line, squirrel lost) and getting stuck on Shirley lift.

 

[Philpug]

This is the line in 2011...
