New for the 2007-2008 ski season in the Reno-Tahoe area, Squaw Valley USA is opening its formerly restricted borders for backcountry tours of new, uncharted terrain. Led by experienced backcountry guides, groups of 10 will receive a briefing on out-of-bounds protocol prior to the excursion, which includes two private runs. Skiers and snowboarders must be upper intermediate to advanced level and pre-registration is required. Six dates are planned for the 07-08 season between February and April, call 530-583-6955 or visit www.squaw.com for reservations.
Sierra-at-Tahoe is working with the United States Forest Service to incorporate Huckleberry Canyon into its ski resort boundary.
