Squaw Valley, CA Ranked #1 for Powder by Outside Magazine

Timid and I stayed high on the mountain. Great place. Squaw, Alpine, Northstar, and Homewood - what else could one want (except Ellery or Pk 12,002)?

You can ski the Nevada side straight into Lembert Lake.

Braun DID NOT HACK.
There is a butt-ugly cliff right from the true summit of Mammoth Mt (east of Climax etc) - "Braun's Chute" or something.
He did the FD, and I doubt it's ever been dropped since.

I think that Herr Braun's run is actually called Werner's. I guess it was before he went all formal on us.

It's hard to tell who has actually dropped in there, maybe check the NSA archives?
