ETA - seeing they had wind gusts of 155 mph. Someone might lose their job for that, that lift shouldn't have been spinning. Squaw is notorious for shutting down for "Wind Hold", there's even stickers that joke about it. Seems like a bad call
Probably under pressure to get people on the mountain. Hasn't the snow been late/light this year in the Sierras?

I don't think they hit those type winds today. The peak is certainly capable of it, having hit 160mph before, but I can't find anything even remotely close to those type numbers today on any weather station in the area.
