Lifts are spinning, the fridge is stocked, and conditions are looking pretty sweet. Cali Squeeze is officially open for the season.

Resorts across the West are firing up the lifts, and we’ve got a forecast of our own. The cans are cold, the blood orange is flowing, and conditions are prime for squeezing a little more out of winter.

Grooming report
Overnight, our crews laid down a fresh corduroy of German-style hefeweizen: soft wheat, a little banana and clove from the yeast, then a full run of blood orange through the finish. The result? A crisp, refreshing ride from first pour to last.
Forecast
Cold days, early sunsets, and a high chance of somebody asking “what’s in the cooler?” by 3 p.m. Conditions are looking good for the foreseeable future, with plenty of opportunities to squeeze more out of the season.
Après advisory
The best part of the mountain? What happens after the last run.
Après opens the minute your boots come off. Cali Squeeze pairs with wet gear on the tailgate, a crowded lodge table, and anything fried. Pro tip: keep a six-pack in the snowbank. Nature’s beer fridge.
Pack list
- Goggles
