The first Starbucks ski-through coffee shop
Starbucks, known for coffee shops on every corner so office workers won't have to cross the street, is now making easier for skiers to grab a cup of Joe on the go.
Squaw Valley has opened the world's first ski-through Starbucks location.
When I lived at Lake Tahoe 25 years ago, I actually had to take my skis off to go into the lodge for a hot chocolate. Oh, how times have changed. At 8,000 feet up the mountain at Squaw Valley, there's a Starbucks with incredible views. Skiers and snowboarders can swoosh through without taking their gear off.
