Squaw Opens and Gets Some Real Snow!

Today marks the opening of the 2010/2011 Season for Squaw Valley.   The mountain is starting things off right with a proper winter storm that lasted through the night, dropping around 8-10" of new snow at Squaw's Base of 6,250'.  This morning's (hopefully) brief lull in the storm provided some amazing light to snap a few photos of the fresh snow.  Today and tonight are supposed to deliver an additinal 25-35"!!!  Yee Haa!!!  Just in time for the holidays... 

Here are some pics of what the mountain looked like after last night:
