July 4th Skiing?

Post by dales »


If spring skiing in California means hitting the slopes in shorts and a T-shirt, what do you wear for summer skiing? A swim suit?

Ski enthusiasts might find themselves confronted with this question as Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows plans to stay open until July 4 this year.

The Tahoe-area resort has seen some 565 inches of accumulative snowfall this season. That's over 47 feet.

"In 2017 alone, since January 1, we've had 460 inches," said Sam Kieckhefer, a spokesperson for Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows. "Our season average is 450 inches. We received more snow since the start of 2017 than our average season."

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Lots of pictures on the internet of people doing just that.

And almost all of it is going to melt. Will California's inland sea be returning?
