Squaw Valley got over six feet of snow in the last week and I got out skiing on five incredible powder days in a row! Some of the best runs were first tracks down Broken Arrow, lapping of Rock Garden as it filled in each run and following Robb Gaffney to deep secret stashes off of Far East. Unfortunately, we got some rain followed by cold temperatures on Thursday, so things have glazed up a bit. During the storm, I also managed to finish up my pre-press writing assignments for the SIA SnowPress Show Daily, the daily magazine that reports on the annual ski show in Vegas. This will be my fifth year reporting from Vegas on all of the newest trends in ski gear. Look for daily updates here on what’s new in skiing and riding for 2008-09 when I hit the floor January 28-February 1. Check out my clips from past years for an idea of what’s to come >>
