Squaw Valley Ski Resort


The other Giant on the north side of Lake Tahoe, Squaw Valley was home of the VIII Winter games in 1960. The resort lies at the end of the valley surrounded by six peaks and offers the most skiable acreage in the Tahoe area. In addition, the resort features some of the greatest variety of challenges, from lazy open bowls to tricky terrain parks and half pipes, packed moguls and the famous Kt-22. Multiple lifts eliminate wait time. Moody and enchanting night skiing is also available on lighted slopes. The Squaw valley area is Mecca for shopping, relaxing and dining at resort restaurants. Local resorts and activities like indoor climbing wall, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, sleigh rids and even dog sled tours of the surrounding Meadows and health and fitness spa can be accessed through the main web page.

The Squaw Valley Ski Resort in Olympic Valley, California, is one of the largest and most high-concept ski areas in the United States and was the site of the 1960 Olympic Games. It is the second-largest ski area at Lake Tahoe with Heavenly Valley being the first. Squaw is equipped with high speed quads and high speed six packs chair lifts, as well as the only Funitel outside of Europe. Because of the resort's popularity, the entire community of Olympic Valley is commonly referred to as "Squaw Valley." The resort attracts 700,000 skiers a year. You can rent accommodations, condos, homes in around Olympic Valley or stay in Hotels and Resort Facilities in Squaw, or Truckee or Tahoe City.
With bountiful maritime snowfall--often receiving 40 or more feet in a winter, amounting to snow pack depths of 200 inches--and steep, granite-laden terrain, Squaw Valley is a mecca for Big Mountain, or steep, skiing. Legendary cliff and chute-infested areas like The Palisades or The Fingers have been featured in many ski films, and have likewise attracted a melange of professional and pro-caliber skiers. Since its opening in 1949, Squaw has positioned itself among an A-list of North American Big Mountain Skiing mecca such as Mammoth Lakes, Whistler, Jackson Hole and Crested Butte, combining with its laid-back California culture to earn the moniker "Squallywood".
Squaw Valley Cable Car, Aerial Tramway
The infamous Squaw Valley Cable Car / Aerial Tramway
The resort operates year-round, offering various activities in both winter and summer with golf being very popular at Squaw Creek There is an ice rink, movie theaters, bars, restaurants in The Village at Squaw Valley. They are famous for their aerial Tramway. The cable car carries visitors up 2000 vertical feet to the High Camp Bath and Tennis Club.
The site was founded in 1949 by Alexander Cushing (1913-2006), a New York attorney who transformed Lake Tahoe with his vision for the mountain and innovations in the ski industry. Cushing modeled Squaw Valley after European resorts by putting pools and lodging on the mountain instead of at the base, and brought the latest lift technology to the United States.
