World Cup to Squaw Valley March 10-11
The women's World Cup comes to Tahoe at Squaw Valley next week. Admittedly I have become more interested now that I have a daughter racing but this is a big deal. Mikaela Shiffrin is on fire and coming to town. The numbers quoted of people coming to watch are astounding to me.

Labor Day is one of the best weekends to shop for ski gear. Here is my DFRE strategy. If you are able Thursday is a good day to start. If you aren’t don’t worry many of the sales aren’t ready until Friday anyway. The Northstar tent is like Fort Knox until Friday. They are just getting set up on Thursday.

Dead Tree
My son and I were skiing past Dead Tree the other day. It is our favorite run. It was closed but we both stopped despite knowing when you kill your speed and it isn’t open you have to skate uphill about thirty yards for your next downhill access.
