A traditional Lake Tahoe holiday stay at Granlibakken resort means skiing, snowplay, zipline, board games by the fireplace, spa treatments and relaxing.
In at least one place with the offending name the unincorporated town of Squaw Valley near Kings Canyon National Park discussions about what the name should be have already grown heated.
Waring, who just turned 25, on Monday (May 3) said he happened to be in Reno, Nev., about an hour away, for an industrial ropes course that ended the day before the Squaw Valley competition. Friends who were also ski patrollers had told him about the competition, he said. Whistler used to do something similar in the past, Waring said. Squaw Valley has also hosted something along these lines before, and I think this was their first attempt to make it bigger and better.
Waring said he believes he was the only Canadian who took part. He said a couple of Australians who live in the Tahoe area also competed.
