Squaw ValleyJanuary 24, 2013Get up-to-the-minute lift and condition information right at your fingertips when you download the Squaw App. Locate your friends on the hill and see how much vert you skied during the day!
Upvoted Mar 24- Ariana FaustiniJuly 17, 2013The master of all Tahoe resorts. It's pricey (unless you've got a pass) but this mountain really rocks. Amazing views, long runs and long lines, but worth the wait. Be sure to hit up Granite Chief!Upvoted Mar 9
Karen MiaoMarch 30, 2016Some of the most interesting terrain in Tahoe plus good restaurants and bars for apres ski. Expensive but I usually buy discounted lift tickets at REI or Sports Basement.
Upvoted Mar 11- Lance LacoffMarch 1, 2016Massively awesome ski resort with lots of lifts and terrain. Hit this spot on a weekday, then do nearby Alpine Meadows on the weekend
Upvoted Mar 4 - Squaw ValleyJanuary 20, 2013Experience both resorts in one day! Catch the Squaw/Alpine Express to get dropped off right at the base of the lifts. Shuttle runs continuously from 8:30am-4:45pm daily.
Ski ButlersJuly 5, 2012Mid-week skiing at Squaw is priceless! You have an entire mountain to yourself and what a big mountain it is. So many different aspects, lifts, trails and more. We love it!- Contrary to popular belief it is possible to barge the line at KT-22 on a powder day. Just bring a huge set of cajones and be prepared to throw elbows.
Want a chill place for a drink in the village? Avoid Rockr and the pub and hit up The Slot! Not easy to find, tiny, cheap - in the village
