    • 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!
