Squaw Valley and the surrounding area offer unlimited possibilities - a recreation mecca. From skiing and snowboarding on one of the top mountains in the world, to ice skating, snowtubing, rock climbing, and more, we cater to every desire. Of course, there's a lot to do that only requires hanging around, like sipping a hot chocolate and gazing at our spectacular views from High Camp and Gold Coast, or lazing in the sun of the Bar One sundeck or the infamous Chamois deck. Shopping for gifts and souvenirs also may tickle your fancy.
The bottom line is enjoyment. Pure fun.
