This will be short and maybe I can post some pics another time. Got there kind of late and it looked pretty thin. Only part of the upper mountain was open with the tram and gondola running and a few blue and green lifts up top and that was it. I have never been there before so I was having a hard time figuring out where to go to find something decent. The snow was hard/tracked/almost icy but not quite. After getting frustrated with the blue stuff off the lifts I followed some of the skiers who were traversing across Siberia Bowl off the siberia lift to where the headwall lift unloads (headwall lift was not open). I don't know the names of most the trails because their trail map sucks, but there were a couple bowls (North Bowl maybe?) on the other side over there. The travers was quite a workout on a snow board for maybe a 1000 ft vert in decent snow (using decent losely as here as in not completly hard). It was pretty steep and kind of challening for me in these conditions. Later I followed some people walking across the dirt/rocks past the bowls to a place called The Slot. Now that was sketchy for me but fun. There were some people there who were riping it up too. After lunch, the fog, sleet, rain, snow came in and they closed off the traverse and the mountain was deserted. I made one last run down Siberia Bowl and visability was so bad I could not see where the terrain went up or down etc. Just white. So I called it a day. From what other people had said about Squaws elevation etc. I knew it might not be good right now, but I wanted to check it out while I was here. I can definately see how it could be sick in the right conditions. There is some nasty looking in bounds terrain within short hiking distance. Kind of long and worhtless without pics, but there you go.
