Saturday, August 6th marked the running of the annual Squaw Valley Mountain Run: a grueling but beautiful 3.6-mile race up the resort's famed "Mountain Run" trail, and a fundraiser for the Auburn Ski Club and local cancer research.
The day was a huge success on many levels, with a record number of participants, numerous volunteers coming together to make sure the event ran smoothly, and some excellent performances by the Auburn Ski Club athletes and other local juniors.
A HUGE thank you to all of those juniors, parents and other community members who came out to help, and a big CONGRATS to everyone who put in the hard work to conquer the hill!

Sam, Savannah and Jennifer soak in the view as they wait for the runners to reach Aid Station 2.
