Tahoe's Longest Season
From mid-November into of May, Squaw offers more days on the snow every season. Squaw Valley's vast upper mountain holds the snow in wide-open bowls, chalking up a base snow depth that ranges from 10-20'. This makes for exceptional spring skiing with more terrain open longer. On the real big years, we'll even reopen for July 4th!
