[Squaw Valley USA] February 4, 2009 – On the heels of Governor Schwarzenegger’s order to furlough salaried and non-union California State employees to take two unpaid Fridays each month off of work, Squaw Valley USA announced today that the resort is offering $30 lift tickets to all California State workers affected by furloughs, on the first and third Friday of each month, beginning February 6, 2009.

Squaw Valley USA $30 Furlough Fridays are valid February 6, February 20, March 6, and March 20 or until the budget issues are resolved, and furloughs are no longer in effect.
