STORY
SUMMARY: [Squaw Valley USA] November 11, 2007- After
two weeks of mild weather, an overnight snowstorm left over
6" of fresh snow at Squaw Valley USA (http://www.squaw.com)
Saturday night, bringing the
season total to over 25" before the ski season even starts.
Snow levels in the storm remained above 7000' but left a significant
coat of white on the peaks. The 5th in a series of fall storms
brought the total snowfall to 25" at Squaw Valley before
the season even starts, and further peaked the interest of eager
skiers and snowboarders. Squaw Valley is scheduled to open High
Camp, it's upper mountain facility, for the season on November
17th, offering ice skating and sightseeing to November visitors.
Ski lifts will open as soon as conditions permit.
