We skied in the Gold Coast to High Camp area the week of 2/23/15. Most of the trails were groomed and the snow was powder. There were some patches of low snow but overall it was pretty good. The lift & tram staff were very friendly and helpful. We like Squaw Valley...keeping our fingers crossed they get snow this weekend!
Great resort with a well thought out lift system making steeps and chutes LIFT accessible! Nice base area not overly tricked out or touristy. The vertical is not as big as some but the trerrain makes up for it. Would be nice ski place for the family.I am going back when they have snow!
Not enough snow making this year. Limited runs open because of a poor rainy season. Better ski options at Northstar.
squaw valley ski area非常棒的滑雪场。在美国加州和内华达州边境,临近lake taheo,曾经举办过美国冬奥会。网上拍团购,29美金租用滑雪装备外带1小时教练教学,其实就教了30分钟基本动作。很多老外全家自带装备来滑雪,很多小孩子划得好。停车免费,可以把东西存在车上,不用花存包的钱。
The place was a change of scenery from Boreal to Squaw Valley. It took my impression a notch higher, most definitely. So it's not surprising if your bill will go higher as well. It's worth it anyway. There are many shops to choose from and you can either stay in a hotel or the lodges, depending on your preference. Coffee shops are available and restaurants are strategically located. Bring extra cash for souvenirs. Make sure you have your photo taken in the Olympic logo visible in the ski entrance area.You'll enjoy this place for sure!
We enjoyed the intermediate and expert runs and would recommend this resort for accomplished skiers. There are some runs for beginners but not many.
I know the skiing conditions depend on the weather, which is not something a ski area can control. Having said that, I am offended at paying full price for a lift ticket when over half the mountain is closed.To add insult to injury, most of the on-mountain amenities (i.e. bars and restaurants) were closed! And this was peak season...I was also unimpressed with the quality of the lifts, most were antiquated.Bottom line - I found Squaw Valley to be terrible value for money, and recommend skiers go elsewhere.
Squaw has more lifts than any other Tahoe ski area. This results in shorter lift lines. Employees were very helpful. My kids took the ski school program and had lots of fun. The outside decks are great when it's warm and sunny. Love this mtn
Very nicely run ski area with green runs up high, well groomed and plenty of fast lifts.Good selection of runs for all levels of skier, even when the snow was limited.
We came up to ski for the long weekend but there's not enough snow to enjoy the skiing conditions. The weather is very warm ! People are wearing shorts and tee shirts. The lift tickets are do expensive and should be on sale because of the conditions.
