Squaw Valley
Squaw Valley opened in 1949 with a lodge, a rope tow and one chair lift and eleven years later Squaw Valley hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics. Squaw Valley is a world class destination ski resort as well as a year round recreation playground. It is a well known fact that Squaw Valley is also home to Wildflour Baking Company – famous for its chocolate chip cookies (winter only)! For more information about Squaw Valley call Robbie and Karen at 530-412-0583.
Prices range from around $22K for a 1/17th share at OVI to $5 million for a retreat in the Squaw Summit subdivision.

The West’s Best Ski Towns: Sunset Magazine
December 28, 2010
Most well-rounded: Truckee, CA
Whether you’re all about the hot toddies, mountain views, Wild West saloons, après-ski eats, or small-town-ness, we’ve got the place for you
.
Keeping a low-pro just 13 miles north of Life List–worthy Lake Tahoe is this unritzified ski town—despite the swank Ritz at Northstar up the street. The historic main drag can please teenagers and grandparents alike, with a Blue Bottle Coffee–loving cafe (Elijah Bleu’s), jazz lounge (Moody’s), and a growing number of tasting rooms (the Pour House, Truckee River Winery).
Slopes: The closest of the big guns is blue square–saturated Northstar (check the website for lift prices), but black diamond skiers come for the chutes on its Lookout Mountain. Laid-back powderhounds prefer Alpine Meadows (from $71), while the extreme skier–scenesters stick to Squaw Valley ($86; squaw.com), aka Squallywood. Beginners head to Tahoe Donner ($39) and Soda Springs ($35).
Sleeps: Something for everyone: just-gimme-a-bed at revamped Truckee Tahoe Lodge (from $159); eco-chic-boutique Cedar House Sport Hotel (from $170); and Northstar’s chichi Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe (from $399), with 2 outdoor pools, a restaurant by celeb chef Traci Des Jardins, and a concierge who unbuckles your ski boots for crying out loud.
