Travel Haiku - Squaw Valley (State Of California) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Squaw Valley
not as impossible as
Scot Schmidt's records

Squaw Valley has carved out a name for itself as the American birthplace and granddaddy of extreme ski resorts. In the early 1980s, Scot Schmidt, arguably the father of extreme skiing, arrived in Squaw to ski impossible lines and soar off 100-foot cliff jumps. If claiming a piece of this glory is your thing, Squaw's the perfect crucible to conquer. Extreme reputation aside, the resort's got 4,000 acres and six peaks of well-rounded, tamer terrain for intermediates and novices as well.
