Squaw Valley USA - A Ski Tour With Jonny Moseley

Thursday January 8, 2009
Jonny MoseleyOne of the highlights of my family ski vacation in South Lake Tahoe was taking a ski tour of Squaw Valley USA with Jonny Moseley. Let me say that if you were at Squaw Valley on any of the 8 days of the "Ski With Jonny" tour you could have the same bragging rights. You see, Squaw Valley USA sponsored complimentary ski tours with their Chief Mountain Host and Olympic Gold Medalist for any and all that wanted to ski along.

Jonny Moseley has called Squaw his home mountain since he was a kid and as he said, he pretty much skied everything we could see. Ten years past his Olympic Gold Medal at Nagano, Japan (and 6 years from his "dinner roll" run at the Salt Lake City Games which many thought deserved Gold) he still skis down steep mogul trails with the grace, ease, and speed that sets kids dreaming and practicing.

I was fortunate to get to ski and talk a bit more, after the tour, with this great natural skier and really nice guy. Read more about Skiing with Jonny and check out some photos.
