So after successfully convincing Squaw Valley to hold the first ever contest on the legendary Tram Face, I and a few others thought it would be an absolute necessity to hold a Golden Ticket qualifier to the Tram Face main event. I thought the qualifier would be an amazing chance for the local ski community to ski a face they've been looking at for years but have never been legally allowed to ski. Without the qualifier I felt like it would be a slap in the face to the local skiers as they watched a bunch of world class skiers from non-Squaw locations be allowed to ski the face sans themselves. So that being said, I put a lot of heart, miles on my truck and time on the phone and computer to get this qualifier to happen (I'll add that I have not and will not be paid a single penny in my coordination efforts of this qualifier. My efforts were solely based on the desire to give local skiers a chance to ski Tram Face). Well unfortunately to circumstances I cannot explain, the qualifier has been canceled. So to the skiers of Squaw, the ski community of Tahoe and the skiers around the world that wanted a chance to ski Tram Face, I am sorry. I did all that I could. Next year we're gonna make it happen. And this year, the main event will be a show no one should miss.
Cheers.
