Vacations to Lake Tahoe would not be complete without a visit to Squaw Valley USA. One of the most famous ski resorts in California, Squaw Valley offers you access to over 4,000 acres of skiable terrain. Spread over six peaks, and accessed by the most advanced lift system in the world, this world-class destination ski resort enjoys an annual snowfall of over 450 inches (that's 37.5 feet), and an abundance of warm California sunshine nearly 300 days of the year. Close proximity to Reno (only 45 minutes away) makes this ski area a Nevada attraction as well.
With its immense size, variety of terrain, abundance of activities, exciting events and Olympic heritage Squaw Valley USA offers one unique experience after another for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities on vacation in Lake Tahoe.
While the heart stopping advanced and expert terrain is featured regularly in ski and snowboard magazines and movies, many guests don't realize that 70% of the mountain's terrain is geared for the beginner and intermediate skier and snowboarder! Wide open bowls, carefully groomed boulevards, steep chutes, glades, terrain parks and half pipes are all part of the fun to be had during a vacation to Squaw Valley USA.
