Squaw Valley Skiing in May - New and Slightly Used Ski
Equipment
By:
Cassandra Ingraham
Yes, it is true, we were actually skiing in California at Squaw Valley (Host
for the 1960 Olympic Winter Games
) the last week of May, 2006. There were 5 runs open and except for the
strong wind up top, the weather was beautiful. Squaw Valley opened in 1949
with one chair lift, a rope tow, and a lodge. Today, Squaw Valley USA is one of
the world's premier destination resorts with year-round recreation and
first-class accommodations However, skiing on Memorial Day weekend was not
nearly as exciting as walking pass one of the ski shops and seeing one year old
skis for sale at 50% off.
The retail sales person gave me the shop's card and said they have these sales
every year at the end of the season. I asked him did they tell anyone, he
said "not really" They just put the skis outside the front door,
attached a hand written sign and watch people walk from the parking lot of Squaw
Valley to the Gondola.
People who truly understand the value stop and purchase! It takes a
certain type of consumer to purchase skies at the end of ski season. Its the
same type of consumer who purchases next year's Christmas cards in January when
they are on sale for 50% off. Have you seen the prices of those NEW Atomic,
Dynastar, Rossignol, Salomon, Volkl or K2 skies? You can visit the Inn
Shop of Squaw Valley at
