Summary
The resort formerly known as Squaw Valley. In adopting a less provocative name, the owners of this resort and next-door Alpine Meadows (15 minutes away by free shuttle-bus) have taken the opportunity to bring both under one brand. Better-known Squaw gets the sub-brand Olympic Valley (it hosted the 1960 games) and is very much the senior partner, with a neat little car-free base ‘village’– a pleasant enough place to stay, though there’s not much life at night. Alpine Meadows retains its name, under the PT brand. The two resorts add up to quite a lot of skiing, but even so keen piste-bashers who like cruising groomed runs will find the terrain limited, we would always combine a stay here with some time in another Tahoe resort.
