Pain McShlonkey Wrap Up
Submitted by jmegnin / General March 26, 2012 - 2:09pm
In the spirit of not taking yourself seriously, competitors did not hold back at this year’s Pain McShlonkey Classic. The event was a huge success and is an annual ode to Squaw Valley legend Shane McConkey. I thought I would share some of the madness that went down this weekend.
Dearest Miracle March

Dearest Miracle March,
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our humble abode. We invite you to blanket this marvel of a valley with your white decadence. May you not stop for the entirety of this month. We await your fluffy goodness so that we may ride majestically through the expansive bowls and trees. The feeling of powdery goodness beneath our feet will no longer be a faint recollection.
Groomers. A Passionate Bunch.

You might have heard us boasting about our plan for enhanced grooming before the 2011-12 season kicked off. Our fleet consisted of 18 machines and now we’ve ramped up to 22. So, to really get a feel for what our groomers get into at night, I decided to get out there and experience it for myself.
First Powder Day: Check.

Reunited and it feels so good! The snow finally came and fell upon our lovely valley. We received 60” in fact. Yesterday was my first powder day of the season and I could not have been happier! I rode up the Funitel like a 5 year old child, practically jumping out of the cabin as the doors swung open. There I was, greeted with fresh snow. Grinning ear to ear, I clicked into my skis as fast as I could and headed onward.

As brilliant blue skies and warm temperatures return to the Sierras, Squaw Valley prepares to open for summer 2013. This summer brings a variety of outdoor activities including base area paintball, roller skating, geocaching, disc golf, hiking, scenic Aerial Tram rides and the High Camp Pool and Hot Tub. With incredible views of Lake Tahoe in a pristine alpine setting, Squaw Valley is the ultimate destination for this summer's big adventures.
Thanks for joining us this season. The highlights were many. From an opening day in October to the US Alpine Championships. We've put a few of our favorite moments together in the video above. We hope you'll enjoy reliving some of the season. We'll miss skiing and riding but will content ourselves with hiking, biking, Lake Tahoe, golf, kayaking, and enjoying these majestic mountains. What will you do as you wait for the first snowflakes of next winter?

The 23rd Annual Cushing Crossing will be the best event of the spring season. The original pond skimming event that started a spring resort ritual. Every year we gather a celebrity judging panel and amazing emcee's for this spectacle. Filled with big spills and laughable thrills this is one spring event that you don't want to miss.
Registration for this event is $20 and is limited to 50 entrants. Lift ticket not required for entry.
