Site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, Squaw Valley USA is located at the end of a stunning alpine valley cradled by six high Sierra peaks.

Following over $30 million in lift and mountain improvements over the last decade, and empowered with a renewed commitment to customer satisfaction, Squaw Valley has captured the spirit of vacationers from around the globe and has once again emerged better than ever.

Offering the most skiable terrain in Lake Tahoe, the most advanced lift network in the U.S. and some of the deepest snow in the world, Squaw Valley USA is a winter playground for all ages.

Thirty-three lifts, including North America's only Funitel and an aerial Cable Car, access 6 peaks, 4,000 acres and 2,850 vertical feet of terrain.
