Squaw Valley plus Diamond Peak
Recently discovered that the combo of Squaw Valley and Diamond Peak is fantastic for 2 day ski trip. Totof and I spent the first day in Diamond Peak. Beyond our expectations, Diamond Peak has a great snow condition. I skied and Totof snowboarded. Both liked Diamond Peak's Great Flume and Lightning very much. Compared to other ski resorts, Diamond Peak is small. So, one day is pretty much enough. Second day, we drove some miles to Squaw Valley. So many people had mentioned it so that we really wanted to try it. Squaw Valley is a big ski resort. We totally could tell how proud Squaw Valley was. Like a British man, Squaw Valley doesn't say it aloud that it is proud of its snow condition. But, you can 100% sense the pride. How? From its map. On the map, Squaw Valley doesn't mark trails at all. It was my first time not to see any trails marked down on the ski map. Squaw Valley just marks its lifts by different colors and gives you a strong message that you can create your own trails around the lift. It is awesome. Among the lifts, we liked Red Dog and Squaw Creek the most. Siberia was fun to ski on. But, we just needed to pay 100% attention with it due to its steepness and moguls. A funny thing was that after Red Dog and Siberia, I somehow was super confident and suggested to take an advance route on Squaw Creek. First 1/3 was fine and good. Then, suddenly, we saw a mogul wall. Oh, what did I do. The wall took me at least 10 min. I completely chickened out. If someone took pictures of me before and after the mogul wall, these pictures should be quite fun to look at. First time to know the north Lake Tahoe is also quite fun to stay, to ski, and to enjoy life.
