Thursday, March 14th, 2013We are excited to see Squaw Valley host the US Alpine Nationals this month. What a great event to bring to the valley, especially with a long history of Squaw Valley ski team members on different ranks of the US Ski Team.
Congratulations to these current Squaw Valley Ski Team athletes who all qualified to compete in the 2013 US Alpine Nationals: Thomas Robles, Hughston Norton, Cody Wilson, Garret Driller, Lena Andrews and Morganne Murphy. They will be competing against several of past Squaw Valley ski team members who are currently on the US Ski Team, including Julia Mancuso, Foreste Peterson, Marco Sullivan, Travis Ganong, Nick Daniels, Bryce Bennett and Keith Moffat.
