Sorry to hear that, I can't even imagine. Hopefully there are some treatment options. Are you able to use VR headset or is that too much movement? I hear there's a snowboarding version being tested.
@@snowboardtraveler it was confusing lol I had to learn to walk talk and most everything again I could snowboard again I just get worried about falling the doctor told me after a brain injury your more subseptable to them after lol I miss it tho
Awesome board! My first few turns during a demo I knew it was the one. The top surface of this one is scratch and sniff which is fun, smells like bubble gum.
I grew up riding and skiing in Lake Tahoe. Squaw Valley apline has always been one of the greatest terrian. When did you film this I have never seen it empty like that was this during covid shutdown
This was filmed mid Feb 2020. There hadn't been significant snowfall for about 6 weeks so no one was visiting. Unfortunately we didnt get to experience the best terrain.
I am an full time instructor at Crystal mountain. Washington. I can help guide you around if you come out this way. We already have over 3foot base and snow all week. We open the 20th
Definitely would like to visit there and get the insider perspective. We’ll let you know if we head that way. Based on the forecasts you should have a ton of snow this year. Enjoy all that powder!
The list usually goes 1. Whistler - 8,171 acres; 2. Park City - 7,300 then SVAM combo will be 6,000 acres. But Powder Mountain with 8,464 usually gets left off the list because it sells limited tickets but now that most resorts are limiting riders it should take the top spot. 😀
Depends on how the resort rides too. Like Breck is 2,900 acres and most of it is always rideable, but Heavenly has 4,800 acres but rides like it only has 2,000.
While I mostly understand why they changed the name, I don't know that Palasades is the best choice, becase there are group of peaks about 100 miles south in the Sierras named the Palasades. Confusing.
Thanks for the informative video! Trying to get a group of friends to go with me in March! Also, I think she would feel a bit more confident if she widened her stance a bit more
we think it will be completed for the 2021/22 season when they will also have a new name for the combined resort (dropping the word Squaw due to the negative connotation)
This plan has been in the works for so long...including a plan for a gondola with a left hand turn (over the ridge between KT and Headwall)...I have my doubts given the current economic situation and the economics of ski resorts in general. When you come off KT and head to the saddle you pass by the ghost of someone else's similar dream that never blossomed. That tower has been there for twenty years. The same year that they first announced plans to link SV and Alpine (with more than a bus - a decade ago(?)) they also announced plans for a high speed quad on The Chief "COMING SOON". Since then there has been a constant dribble of optimistic propaganda concerning regulatory successes about linking the resorts. Forgive me if I don't get my hopes up about them building a gondola with a 20 plus minute ride that links base to base and opens no new terrain.
There used to be another ski park ... Deer Park or Deer Ridge or Deer Valley or something like that, I've forgotten. It was only there for a couple years (in the early '80s), and only had a couple chairs. It was where you turn off from 89 to go to Alpine. All the hardware is long gone but you can still see where they cut the runs and the parking lot is sometimes used by buses.
I think so. You can take the tram to high camp where there are several beginner runs accessed by Baileys beach, mountain meadow and big blue lifts. So you get high up the mountain to see all the cool views and get good snow and not have to be stuck at the bottom of the mountain on a bunny slope.
Red Dog and Squaw Creek have their days (in the winter) when they have the best off-piste on the mountain. Drool worthy. In the spring they are most worthy warm up starting points for your day (after Far East) as you work your way up the hill (Red Dog > KT> Headwall >Siberia> then wherever).
Not usually. We visited mid feb 2020 during a 6 week dry spell so not many people were visiting. I imagine it is much busier this year even with the pandemic.
Tahoe used to be a cool place. Now it is overrun with big money driving up the prices and out the locals. Also, it’s such a beautiful area that it is a shame so much commercialization is happening. Tahoe should have been designated a national park to preserve its natural beauty. Instead there are hockey rinks, fancy hotels, casinos, and tourists trashing this treasure. Nothing against the video, it was well made. I just saw it and realized that soon Tahoe will not be a secured mountain area filled with natural beauty but a commercialized resort with the one goal of turning a profit. It’s pretty sad.
You can kind of say that about most ski resort areas these days. We went to some lesser known places in CO this year and really enjoyed them. Also love the remote places up on Canada. Hoping they open the border by next season.
We can’t wait to visit Palisades Tahoe 😍😍
It's also a good place to visit during the summer.
I hear the hiking is great 👍
I have searched all of CZcams to see where I should go for my next ski trip and this is the best channel for it. Keep it up!
Thank you!! 🙏 Where are you planning to go next season? Or dream location?
Red Dawg!! high off the ground 😵💫😊
My face exactly!
Do more palisades content!
We need to go back, we missed the best snow ❄️
@@snowboardtraveler I know!
Under rated Chanel
Hmm, I wonder how we get added to one of those underrated channel lists?
I miss snowboarding lol I'm a disabled vet T.B.I(traumatic brain injury) unfortunately my head is fragile now I also lost balance with sucks lol

I think I have that same Burton Lipstick board with a peacock on it! Its an amazing board!
Awesome board! My first few turns during a demo I knew it was the one. The top surface of this one is scratch and sniff which is fun, smells like bubble gum.
It will always be squaw valley !
Nice new name
amazing review! I went there once before.
Thanks! What was your favorite run or area?
@@snowboardtraveler ur mom
Squaw valley lit af bruh
Almost literally 🔥😢
Great quality video! Killin’ it!
Thanks! maybe we'll try 4K this year
not sure how you don't have a LOT more subscribers. Do Mammoth next!!
Help spread the word! :) Alpine Meadows next. We’d love to visit Mammoth.
Great informative videos! Subbed for future vids, this was really helpful for my upcoming trip to Palisades!
Glad it was helpful! They are getting so much snow right now.
This channel is awesome. It should blow up once people discover it!!
Thanks! Help to spread the word :)
Two years later, I finally got the pun about the funitel.
Subscribing at 516 subscribers remember me
thanks for subscribing!
This was great. Please do more
Working on a few 😀
Great ingo, thx, going there in a couple days and am very excited!!!
Have an awesome time! Hopefully great conditions.
@@snowboardtraveler they should be getting a good amount of snow this week, so im sure the conditions will be great!🤣
Another great video! Going this Saturday for the last run of the season
Awesome! Have fun on the mountains. We just got some new snow in CO so continuing to ride on the weekends.
Great video! I have went there very recently
Awesome, you probably had much better conditions than we did!
Did u ski the double diamond black?
You guys should definitely check out mammoth!!
Yes it’s high on our list for next year!

If you go back to Tahoe try sugar bowl. Family owned and operated
we'll have to check it out next time

I can’t wait to get up there. I actually got an early season sess at snow valley nov17. That was rare. I’m looking for to heading up north
more snow in the forecast! nice to see early riding.
Thanks I needed this
Pre-season inspiration and snow in the forecast
Love the video!
Thanks! I think we are improving.
Sure wish I got this info for Squaw and Breckenridge before I went this year. However, I'm ready for next season.
Glad you found it useful! Hopefully more snow next year too.
that Arc'teryx jacket 😮
The Incendia jacket 👍. Wish I had the bibs too.
Great channel. I would love to see a review of Whitefish.
A few people have asked for Whitefish. We’ll have to try and get up there. I wanted to catch it on the way up to Fernie but border is now closed.
New area opened at Squaw? Nice to see some expansion.
adding the gondola between the two resorts but it doesnt open any new terrain unfortunately
Going on Sunday. First time ever, took 32 years fml
Better now than never. Have fun!
Good channel 👍. What are the #1 and #2 largest resorts in North America?
The list usually goes 1. Whistler - 8,171 acres; 2. Park City - 7,300 then SVAM combo will be 6,000 acres. But Powder Mountain with 8,464 usually gets left off the list because it sells limited tickets but now that most resorts are limiting riders it should take the top spot. 😀
@@snowboardtraveler thanks...looks like Mammoth is further down at 3500 acres.
Depends on how the resort rides too. Like Breck is 2,900 acres and most of it is always rideable, but Heavenly has 4,800 acres but rides like it only has 2,000.
@@snowboardtraveler good point...not sure where mammoth Iies in rideable area
While I mostly understand why they changed the name, I don't know that Palasades is the best choice, becase there are group of peaks about 100 miles south in the Sierras named the Palasades. Confusing.
Thanks for the informative video! Trying to get a group of friends to go with me in March! Also, I think she would feel a bit more confident if she widened her stance a bit more
Glad the video was helpful! Yes she has asked for the stance to be wider and it is helping.
@@snowboardtraveler do you happen to remember where/which run on the mountain your thumbnail photo was taken? It is epic!!
that was taken at the top of Emigrant lift
Where'd you see that they're connecting the resorts? Looks sweet!
It was finally approved by the state of California last winter. Altera resorts got it done after being in the plans for over 10 years.
we think it will be completed for the 2021/22 season when they will also have a new name for the combined resort (dropping the word Squaw due to the negative connotation)

Interesting, yeah Deer Park ski area. The old graded ski runs in sierras have had a hard time regrowing vegetation to cover runs.
is this a good place for first time snowboarders?
I think so. You can take the tram to high camp where there are several beginner runs accessed by Baileys beach, mountain meadow and big blue lifts. So you get high up the mountain to see all the cool views and get good snow and not have to be stuck at the bottom of the mountain on a bunny slope.
Red Dog is my least favorite lift 😂
One ride on Red Dog was enough for us
Red Dog and Squaw Creek have their days (in the winter) when they have the best off-piste on the mountain. Drool worthy. In the spring they are most worthy warm up starting points for your day (after Far East) as you work your way up the hill (Red Dog > KT> Headwall >Siberia> then wherever).
is it usually that empty?

nooooo snow being ruined in very first clip
first clip is on a sheet of ice as it hadn't snowed in 6 weeks. no snow was ruined.
I can’t believe they’re changing the name. It’s terrible that they’re going to change it.
We think they’re cooking up an even better name. It’s long overdue for an update
Do Native Americans ride for free?
Squaw Valley owners about to learn the meaning of ‘go woke, go broke’.
I didn't know everyone who skis squaw valley does it just because of the name, more mountain to me then
lol women talking fs
