Having The Benefit Of Weekend Retreat Times At Squaw Valley Lodge

By Tarah Fuqua


Planning a winter vacation is hard. With so many great places around us, we had to really study to find the best resort. After having vacationed at Squaw Valley for the first time, we can definitely say this was the best vacation ever. Here's some of the cool stuff we got to do while we were staying in the High Camp.

There are so many things to do on the mountain that http://www.7x7.com/travel-active/squaw-valleys-ceo-andy-wirth-looks-forward-new-era heads up. And of course you want to start with the skiing right? This is the main draw, and it's exactly why you're going. Well for starters you're going to find Olympic quality courses.

After that I was ready for the real thing, and they have some beautiful courses. Including some really wide open ones where you can enjoy the mountains around you. But also some racing runs too, for skiers that love speed.

Although my favorite was night skiing. I don't really know if other resorts offer this, but I had so much fun. They light up the entire area, and you literally get to go down the major runs even at night time. It's so beautiful and cool. You just need to see it for yourself.

But after all that skiing, sometimes you're just ready for a break. Lake Tahoe is such a beautiful place, sometimes it's fun to just get out and check out your surroundings. That's why the sky lifts are awesome.

What kids don't like dogs? Ours are the same, and we had so much fun at the dog sledding area. They had tons of dogs, and you can even go on sled rides with the family too!

I also particularly enjoyed the snowmobiles. These were really fun to race around, and give you a beautiful way to explore Lake Tahoe on your own schedule. Squaw Valley and Andy Wirth have tons of snowmobile tracks out there too.

But the number one family activity you can't pass up is inner tubing. They have great huge snow tube hills that are perfect for riding down. Complete with jumps, these were my favorite part of Squaw Valley by far.
