    Squaw Valley USA Review

    by govey80 - Dec 14, 2007

    Pros: Challenging lines, One of the best resorts anywhere in the world, Olympics!

    Cons: No Apres-Ski, but that's not why people go to Tahoe.

    Best mountain in Tahoe, hands down, no contest. Massive amount of terrain, variety of terrain: everything from the most extreme 'in-bounds off-piste' skiing (Palisades) to an extensive beginner program, and awesome powder.... Full review

    Tahoe's Finest

    by nessasnobunny - Apr 25, 2009

    Pros: Gorgeous, varied terrain, long runs, nightlife, swimming lagoon, it's just huge

    Cons: commercialized, crowded, impersonal service

    Squaw Valley is arguably the best that North Tahoe (some would say all of Tahoe) has to offer. The first time you ride the cable car over that first ridge, you catch... Full review

    Real Terrain for Real Skiers

    by alieber - Apr 15, 2009

    Pros: Steeps, Long Runs, Lots of Variety

    Cons: Heavy, Sticky Sierra Cement

    Squaw Valley boasts the widest assortment of advanced terrain anywhere in the Lake Tahoe area. This is not a mountain for beginners -- to be sure, there's a fair amount of green... Full review

    Not all that it's cracked up to me

    by alvlee01 - Mar 29, 2009

    Pros: Big resort, plenty of open lifts, long trails

    Cons: skiers paradise, not good for boarders

    I've been to this resort several times, and each time I've asked myself why I bothered to come back. The night boarding/skiing is great IF you don't mind waiting 10-30 minutes in... Full review
