Travis Ganong: Snowmaking at Squaw

Squaw is starting to make some decent progress on their snowmaking!

It's been pretty warm the last few days. Not ideal at all for making snow, but still Squaw has some decent piles taking shape.  I went on a mountain bike ride up and across the Western States trail and was able to check out the progress on Squaw Creek, Red Dog, and the beginner area at Snow Ventures.

With 13 days to go until Squaw fires up the chairlifts, and colder weather on its way, I think they should be good to go for opening on the 27th.

I've had some great on snow training out in Colorado the last few weeks where they don't have a ton of natural snow, but where the temps have been very cold enabling them to make snow 24/7.

We were already able to have the first Downhill and Super G races of the year last weekend at Copper Mountain, and I was able to win my first two races of the season against a stacked World Cup field!

I'm fired up to say the least about the great start to my season.

I'm headed back out there for a few more days of training, and then it's off to Lake Louise, Canada for the first World Cup Downhill and Super G of the season.

Make sure to watch me as well as Marco Sullivan, Nick Daniels, and Bryce Bennet on TV racing Lake Louise on November 30th on Universal Sports.
