Congratulation if you're thinking of taking your next ski vacation to this amazing ski destination. The resort itself is on the biggest and most high concept ski resorts in the continental United States. Being the Second largest ski area at Lake Tahoe, besides Heavenly resort it was the site of the 1960 Winter Ski Olympics.
Because of Squaw Valley's high concept and state of the art facilities and services it remains one of the most popular resorts in the United States. The ski area attracts an amazing six hundred thousands skiers a year. The best time to hit the slopes at this resort is around mid November to late May
The Resort itself is nested in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and has a spread across 6 peaks. Because of the ski areas granite-laden terrain and fantastic vertical change the resort is a nerve center for big mountain steep skiing.
The base elevation of the resort is 6,200 feet and a top elevation of 9,050 feet. There is a respectable even compared to big resorts like Vail and Blackcomb of 4,00 acres of terrain. This terrain is accessible by an impressive 177 ski trails. The longest of which is the Mountain Run at 3.2 miles. The lift system as I mentioned before is state of the art with and astounding 33 lifts. And with an annual snowfall of nearly 450 inches of fresh powder there is now lack of fresh tracks for all.
