Squaw Valley ski resort in California has so much snow that they are considering staying open all spring, summer, and fall right into the start of next season!
“I’m actually considering staying open through the summer and fall so it becomes the 16/17/18 season. We’re taking a hard look at that. Maybe we spin Shirley through the summer. There’s so much snow up there.”
“We think it’d be a cool thing if people uploaded on the tram and likely hiked up a couple of hundred meters and dropped Shirley.” – Andy Wirth, CEO/President of Squaw Valley.

Would Squaw be open daily all summer? Weekends only? We aren’t sure yet and we aren’t sure if they’ll actually pull the trigger on this, but it sure would be cool if they did.
Squaw Valley has already seen over 700″ of snowfall this winter season.
Squaw (KSL) just teamed up with Aspen Skiing Company and bought Mammoth CA, Steamboat Springs CO, Winter Park CO, Bear Mt CA, Snow Summit CA, June Mt CA, and more…
You can expect Aspen and Squaw to offer some sort of “Epic Pass” that will cover all those resorts plus Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk, Aspen Highlands, Squaw, and Alpine in the near future.
