| Upper mountain of Squaw looking pretty dang good |
Summer took awhile to really kick in here in Tahoe, winter really never wanted to end. In fact, it snowed up high less than a week ago. Because of the record-setting snowfall season Squaw still has a ridiculous amount of snow and was easily able to open for the 4th of July weekend. With the combination of skiing, the Cushing Classic Pond Crossing, concerts, and a 'celebration of life' party there really was no other choice than to celebrate 'Merica's holiday in Squaw. The skiing part was a huge bonus to the weekend. First off, I've never skied on the 4th before and, secondly, the skiing was fantastic. The high energy on the hill was palpable, everyone was having the time of their lives. Anyway, here's a few photos to go along with a most spectacular 4th of July!
