The legendary experience of Squaw Valley is a rite of passage in Lake Tahoe. The VIII Olympic Winter Games were held here in 1960, thanks to the bold pursuit of Alexander Cushing, the founder and Chairman of the Board of Squaw Valley Ski Corporation. Cushing’s determination and foresight elevated American skiing, put Lake Tahoe on the map, and changed the face of alpine skiing.
Though Squaw Valley’s mountain is without compare, the improvements underway by the ski resort’s new owners, KSL Partners, are geared toward the family-market and intermediate skier market. The improvements range from a new ticket office and outdoor fire pits to chic culinary service, such as the opening of Rocker@Squaw and Batch Cupcakery. Squaw Valley will always have a place in alpine and Olympic history, but the new generation of ownership has brought welcomed change to resort amenities.
At the base of the mountain, Squaw Valley is a small community rich in history, but offers a wide range of real estate options from condominiums to contemporary luxury homes. Squaw Valley has 15 real estate subdivisions, six of which are private: Hidden Lake, Homesites at Squaw Creek, Painted Rock, Squaw Creek Estates, Squaw Summit and Creekside Estates. You can choose a homesite that is nestled back with a sweeping view of Olympic Valley, or situate yourself in the heart of all the action, at The Village at Squaw Valley.
If you’re an avid skier, looking for the best of the best in skiing terrain, and a home or vacation spot with breathtaking valley views, then look no further. Squaw Valley is the illustrious combination of majestic, extraordinary and elite.
