Top Winter Athletes To Compete in the Pain McShlonkey Classic to
Honor Legendary Skier Shane McConkey
[Squaw Valley USA] January 28, 2011 – March 26, 2011 will mark the much-anticipated comeback of The Pain McShlonkey Classic at Squaw Valley USA. This action packed on and off-mountain event will serve as a hilarious tribute to legendary skier Shane McConkey as pros and amateurs battle for the highly coveted Golden Saucer trophy and bragging rights.
Celebrated for his playful spirit, McConkey was the mastermind behind the original Pain McShlonkey Open that debuted in 2003. What began as a behind-the-scenes late-night race between competitors at the 1998 Winter X Games has evolved into a beloved event, attracting athletes from around the world.
Although the event was dubbed after one of Shane’s funny alter egos, Pain McShlonkey, there’s no questioning McConkey’s true character.
“One thing about Shane is that what you saw is what he was: a man full of stoke, passion, ingenuity, humor and a zest for making your moments on this earth count,” said longtime friend Scott Gaffney. “As far as he was concerned, if you weren't laughing, playing, scaring yourself, competing against friends, making fun of each other or making fun of yourself, you were essentially wasting time. The Pain McShlonkey Classic is a perfect amalgam of all of these elements that were so important to a guy who inspired us to no end.”
Saturday’s on-mountain antics promise excitement and entertainment for all as the world’s top winter athletes hang up their precision-tuned skis and boards to compete in true McConkey style – on snow blades!
Festivities begin with the Extreme Small Mountain Snowlerblade Invitational where a select group of 30 pros will negotiate Squaw Valley’s legendary terrain on K2 Fatty snow blades. Cheer on the pros like Daron Rahlves, JT Holmes, Scott and Robb Gaffney and Jeremy Jones as they jockey for the podium.
Later, the pros will take on 30 amateurs during an anything-go Snowlerblade Chinese Downhill. This all-out snowlerblade banzai will be a guaranteed crowd pleaser as a cast of celebrity judges adds to the hysterics. The 30 amateurs will be selected via an online contest and lottery process. If selected, the registration fee is $1.
The day will end with a rockin’ after party at Squaw Valley’s newly remodeled Bar One. Tickets are $25 and guests must be 21 or older to attend. Valid ID is required. Proceeds will benefit Protect Our Winters (www.protectourwinters.org) and the Shane McConkey Foundation.
Spectators are encouraged to dress up and celebrate the spirit of McConkey. “The best way to keep Shane's legacy alive is to remember to laugh at yourself and live life to the fullest,” says Sherry McConkey. “We hope everyone comes out to make the whole weekend tastefully outrageous and fun.”

Letter from Andy Wirth Regarding Holiday Challenges
Dear Valued Guest:
Squaw Valley was blessed with a wonderful holiday period including an abundance of bluebird days, fresh snow and amazing mountain conditions. Unfortunately, as we welcomed the Holidays and more snow to the mountain, the resort was challenged by electrical, transportation and weather related issues that created inconveniences for those of you who were on the mountain. With this note, I want to acknowledge these challenges and openly and directly inform you of exactly what took place.
First, most notably, Squaw Valley experienced brief power outages on December 30 and 31. Experiencing a problem of this nature during one of our busiest and most important times, and during relatively cold temperatures, is a disappointment for our customers, our team members, and our management team. This was a very unique situation, as the staff at NV Energy put it, and an occurrence that did not meet any of our expectations or standards. The following is an important summary of what took place including our team’s response.
On December 30 at about 12:00pm, the power lost one “leg” from the bottom of Headwall to the upper mountain. We immediately pursued contingency plans to activate backup power, and contacted the power company, NV Energy. A fuse located on a power pole operated by NV Energy near Granite Chief Road had failed. It took us 30 minutes to locate the fuse following the failure, at which point the power company was already en route. Upon arrival, the power company repair crew replaced the fuse, which they found had melted. We were advised, based on the state of the melted fuse, that failure was attributable to a defective fuse and was not related to the mountain’s infrastructure or operations. To ensure that guests could get their lift ticket’s value, we ran the lifts for an additional 20 minutes in the afternoon that day.
The same fuse failed again on December 31 at 11:00am. Again, our team immediately mobilized backup power supplies and generators. NV Energy was on site within 30 minutes. A decision was made to replace the fuse with a larger set, which had to be sourced and delivered. The process took about 30 additional minutes. Again, we ran the lifts later that afternoon and provided vouchers for those particularly affected by the outage. NV Energy has made modifications to this "leg" that ensures this failure will never be replicated. Furthermore, we have requested replacement of the fuses in the other two legs of power with the same larger size to prevent any future problems. As an additional precaution, Squaw Valley will be engaging NV Engergy and other specialists to conduct a thorough review of our power lines, our internal infrastructure, and our operational methodology to ensure that the potential for future failures is minimized.
Secondly, on December 30, 2010, the entire North Lake Tahoe road system was overwhelmed by traffic, including our local area. Snowstorms put the County’s already stressed road crew in a position whereby they weren’t able to widen Squaw Valley Road, a critical function which allows us to build three lanes to support ingress and egress from the resort along this roadway. Additionally, at the end of the day, a malfunctioning traffic light on Highway 89, towards Truckee, exacerbated an already maxed out roadway system. On the next day, December 31, our own road crews took the initiative to widen the roads to create three lanes. While this is outside of our responsibilities, we did this in an effort to alleviate the stress and problems of the previous day. I was informed by many contacts that the entire region’s roadways were problematic during this time. I can assure you that our team will continue to work with local and regional transportation authorities on this issue to ensure that it does not happen again.
Finally, the snowfall that has made for incredible skiing and riding experiences, coupled with significant wind events, has required our Ski Patrol to literally work harder than ever during their snow safety missions. The number of days that we’ve experienced delayed lift openings is directly related to the extraordinary weather, including wind and record-breaking early season snowfall. Patrol conducted snow safety on 15 days during December, and Squaw Valley experienced 189% of average snowfall during the month. Together, November and December have delivered more snowfall than anytime during the previous 40 years. You can be assured that our team will continue making every effort to open the mountain as early as possible; however, we will always operate the resort with your safety and the safety of our team members as our primary concern.
We appreciate your patience as we strive to overcome these challenges and seek to improve every facet of the resort’s operations. Thank you for taking the time to review this information, and I sincerely hope that this summary provides you with some insights into our operations over the holiday period.
Thank you for choosing Squaw Valley USA.
Best regards,
Andy Wirth
President & Chief Executive Officer

Squaw Valley USA Launches the New 'Squaw Legend 5-Pack'
A 5-Visit Pass: Five Visits. Valid Any Day. Less than $60 per day.
[Squaw Valley USA] January 3, 2011 - Squaw Valley announced a new 5-visit value pass that allows skiers and riders to enjoy the resort’s legendary conditions for less than $60 per day, saving up to 53%. The Squaw Legend 5-Pack will function as a five-day season pass allowing skiers and riders to go directly to the chairlifts on any five days of the 2010-11 winter season with no date restrictions. After the initial five visits, the pass is reloadable in increments of five throughout the season at this price, however, the original purchase must be made on or before Monday, January 17, 2011.
To date this season, Squaw Valley has received over 290” of snow, more than 100 inches over previous season-to-date snowfall records. The winter has already included new monthly snowfall records for both November and December, and recent snowpack surveys show the resort is over 200% above average for this time of year. The remarkable snow that La Niña has already brought to Squaw Valley has resulted in phenomenal early season skiing and riding conditions.
“We are excited to launch this new and innovative lift ticket product,” noted Scott Clarkson, Squaw Valley’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “The Legend 5-Pack is a way for everyone from weekend warriors to vacationing visitors to enjoy our incredible conditions at an affordable rate. We are honoring this season’s legendary snowpack with the Legend 5-Pack.”
The Legend 5-Pack is available online at squaw.com as well at Special Tickets and the Season Pass Office. As there are no date restrictions, the 5-pack is available any day including holidays throughout the 2010-11 winter season. The 5-Pack is a non-transferable product limited to the individual’s name and picture on the pass. The product is valid through May 8, 2011.
