STORY
SUMMARY: Dec 20, 2007 –
Squaw Valley USA greeted eager skiers and snowboarders this
morning with clearing skies and up to three feet of fresh snow
and expanded terrain.
FOOTAGE
DESCRIPTION: Footage includes shots of loaders, snowblowers,
people riding chairlifts, skiers and snowboarders, scenic mountain
and fresh snow shots.
SUGGESTED
COPY: A series of strong winter storms hit the Sierra
this week and left up to three feet of fresh snow in the mountains
since Monday. This blast of snow was just what resorts needed
to ensure great conditions for holiday visitors. Squaw Valley
USA expects to open additional lifts and terrain in the coming
days. Today 15 lifts are in operation, including Squaw Valley
USA’s newly upgraded high-speed six passenger lift accessing
Shirley Lake.
