Squaw Valley, the site of the VIII Olympic Winter Games in 1960, is a world-class destination resort nestled among six high Sierra peaks:
  • Snow King (7,550 ft)
  • KT-22 (8,200 ft)
  • Squaw Peak (8,900 ft)
  • Emigrant (8,700 ft)
  • Granite Chief (9050 ft)
  • Broken Arrow (8020 ft) -- overlooking beautiful Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada.

    Squaw Valley is a residential and recreational preserve, offering 4,000 acres of lift-served terrain, an annual snowpack of more than 450 inches and an abundance of warm California sunshine almost 300 days out of the year.

    To ensure time is spent skiing, not waiting in lift lines, Squaw is serviced by one of the most extensive lift networks in the world.

    With 31 lifts and an uphill capacity of 49,000 skiers per hour, Squaw Valley has become one of the largest ski areas in the country. Because of its immense size, Squaw caters to skiers of all abilities.

    Seventy percent of Squaw's terrain is geared for the beginner and intermediate skier with wide, open bowls and miles of meticulously groomed runs. For the more adventurous skier, vast areas have been left in their pristine state for a true wilderness experience and some of the best advanced skiing anywhere.

    To brush up on technique, the Squaw Valley Ski School maintains a professional staff of instructors and offers programs for skiers of all ages and skill levels.

    Squaw offers a skiing experience with grooming machines working countless hours every night, not only on beginner and intermediate slopes, but on some advanced runs as well, thanks to two winch cat systems.

    • Another of my Top 5 locations, Squaw is a massive area with lots of lifts, lots of terrain and a great Lake Tahoe location - relatively easy to get in and out of.
      Like a lot in the Tahoe area this is a spectacular resort - big, huge in fact with tons of terrain and lots of challenge regardless of…
      One of my very favorites. Would go back in a heartbeat!
