The next time you have urges for a hot cuppa while skiing at Squaw Valley, make sure you head to Starbucks’ newest venture, 2,400 meters above sea level. The world’s first ski-thru coffee shop, this Starbucks allows you to pick up your cup without having to pull them skis off! An innovative way to serve piping hot coffee to skiers, without having them miss out on the experience as a whole, this venture by Starbucks is bound to inspire other coffee houses around. Also, this coffee shop will stay open between 09:00 and 16:00 hours throughout the winter season, that’s if the weather doesn’t decide to play spoil-sport.
