WOW on Powder
March 3, 2010 was another awesome WOW (Women of Winter) Session at Squaw Valley, led by Norcal Regional Alliance Members Julie Matises and Fran Tone. And no, there’s nothing wrong with the photograph – that’s snow (lots of it) captured on film. Themed “On the Edge of Squaw,” this session turned into “on the edge of our comfort zone” as powder dumped all morning and visibility remained marginal. Bump troughs were filled with bump tops barely hidden under the new-fallen snow. The snow was so deep and fluffy, face shots were in order just by skiing through the troughs. We had Phat Luvs, Lotta Luvs and even one Hardside out there – didn’t really matter …. were those giggles we heard? … Yup – definitely.

Custom WOW’s Empowering Women
Can’t make that women’s program at your favorite ski resort because you have a business trip, board meeting, parent-child conference or a dental appointment? That’s where the Custom WOW (Women of Winter) comes in. Squaw Valley’s WOW program allows women to schedule their own program on the day they can make it. This past week was about Custom WOW’s at Squaw — three of them to be exact. Women got together and arranged their own program that suited their schedule. February 24, 2010 were women who just couldn’t wait another week for a scheduled WOW – they are just having too much fun!
February 25, 2010 were women on their annual ski trip who learned to rip Squaw Valley.
And February 26, 2010 were women who just couldn’t get enough of WOW and some who needed a day closer to a weekend (sorry no photo) … but they ripped up difficult snow conditions with “immature snow” falling. Despite low vis, we still had a great time and managed to end the WOW with two sweet runs in 75 Chute. Way to go ladies!

Traveling Skis Heads to New Mexico!
The Traveling Skis arrived in New Mexico along with huge storm. Thirty-four inches of down snow fell in Taos over the last three days, and the skis handled it beautifully. From soft intermediate bumps to off piste face shots, every lady that skied them came back smiling! As we ship them out to their next destination, the sun is coming our and the bluebird skies are back!

K2 NorCal Alliance Ski Day at Alpine Meadows
Gorgeous blue skies, a fresh layer of new snow, and an incredible group of women made for an amazing morning out at Alpine Meadows! Our group ripped up the fresh corduroy, then took it into trees & chutes & bowls for a high-energy tour around the mountain. What an inspiring sight to see everyone zipping down Palisades, Our Father & Keyhole…nice!!
Jeannie was our winner for “Best Dressed” in her pink pants, pink scarf & rhinestone K2 belt buckle! PINK was the color of the day to show support for breast cancer awareness, research & prevention.
Participants were asked to make a small donation to hold their spot for today’s clinic. 100% of the donations will be sent to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Thanks again everyone for coming to share your enthusiasm for skiing AND your dollars in support of BCRF. Let’s do it again soon!

Taos’ Women’s Weekend perfect for the Got Back
They came, it dumped and they shredded! Taos’ K2 Women’s Weekend participants skied fresh powder both Saturday and Sunday. While the Lotta Luv was a popular choice, conditions definitely called for the Got Back. After powder skiing all day Saturday, doing yoga and having a scrumptious dinner, the ladies woke to eight inches of fresh snow on Sunday which made for some great powder shots off Taos’ Highline Ridge.
All in all the weekend was full of laughter and powder turns and we can’t wait for next year.
More photos to come!
