It's literally Squaw Valley. World Cup was last held there in 2017 IIRC (Shiffrin won both GS & slalom)

Today I learned Squaw Valley is in California instead of New York or something

I had the same problem with Lake Placid many moons ago. This was the time when I thought the entire state of New York looks like New York City

On behalf of all Californians, I take offense 

 

The Sierra Nevada (“Sierras”) is honestly my favorite part of the state. There are many cool places in California, but nothing quite captures my imagination the same. However, I don’t think Tahoe would top my list of best destinations in the Sierras. Definitely worth a trip if you ever cross the Atlantic though

it looks that today's women's DH won't be staged...

 

fog changing place every few minutes...next jury decision at Noon (but with very few hopes)...

Men’s race from California also threatened by global warming & drought, which combine to produce record snowfalls on The Mountains Called Snowy.

Big shout-out to all the Eurosport comms who did 150 mins of no skiing this morning.

I watched ski jumping team event so I didn't miss anything

Palisades Tahoe got over a meter of snow in the last three or four days 

 

The weather is really crazy when California (the land of perennial drought) is getting blanketed in snow and Europeans are basically begging for it.

and in California, Odermatt is back to the top of the rankings so far...

 

it's a very close 1st run, with 12 skiers within 1.00 secs.
