Although no one is exactly sure who will be blowing out the candles, several big names in the ski world will be on the mountain Nov. 21 when Squaw Valley celebrates its 60th birthday.
Olympic gold medalist skier Jonny Moseley, Squaw's Chief Mountain Host, will be attacking the moguls and the public is welcome to try and follow him down those challenging runs on Saturday afternoon.
In honor of Squaw Valley extreme skier Shane McConkey, who was tragically killed jumping off a cliff with a parachute while filming a movie this past March in Italy, his good friend JT Holmes will be a scene stealer at the birthday festivities, performing a huge base jump from the cable car.
This September, Squaw renamed Eagle’s Nest – the mountain’s most notable run, located at the top of the famed KT – to McConkey's.
The day’s festivities will also include a massive balloon drop from the Funitel, live music at Olympic House, and an outdoor screening of the anniversary movie, “Squaw Valley USA: 60 Legendary Years.”
This year is also the 50th year since Squaw hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics.
Squaw will be holding a Winter Job Fair on Saturday, Nov. 7 (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) at Olympic Village Lodge. Job applicants can come and interview for winter seasonable positions.
