Squaw Valley Terrain
Set in the middle of the Sierra and a stones throw from Lake Tahoe, Squaw Valley averages 450 inches of pristine snowfall every winter. With 3600 skiable acres spread across six peaks, we’ve got terrain for everyone from beginners to Olympians. There are miles of groomed trails, wide-open bowls, expansive beginner areas, world-renowned steeps, and manicured terrain parks and pipes. And because we offer one of the most technologically advanced lift systems in North America, you’ll spend less time waiting and more time exploring. Which is good, because there’s a lot of mountain to get acquainted with.

What's New This Season at Squaw Valley
The 2012-13 winter season marks year two of the Renaissance. Originally billed as the five-year, $50 million capital improvement plan bringing dramatic improvements to Squaw Valley alone – the Renaissance will now total nearly $70 million in improvements to both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows by winter 2015-16.
For 2012-13, skiers and riders can look forward to a new high-speed six-pack lift, enhanced snowmaking, new retail locations and the introduction of Burton's Learn to Ride (LTR) Program to our Ski & Snowboard School. The idea behind all of these improvements and those to come is to create a guest experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.
