Mountain Biking
This summer brings the much anticipated return of mountain biking to Squaw Valley USA. With the most vertical of any bike park in Tahoe, Squaw Valley will offer a downhill trail with freeride elements and cross-country trails. Bikers can ride Squaw’s scenic Cable Car to access the terrain by purchasing a day bike ticket. Mountain biking is slated to open mid to late summer depending on snow melt conditions.


To accommodate bikers, Squaw Valley is also opening a new bike rental shop at the base of the mountain. Starting June 12, the shop will rent downhill bikes and trail bikes as well as comfort cruisers for use on the renowned Truckee River Bike Path. Safety gear, attachable trail-a-bikes and trailers for children will also be available for rent.

Paintball
Paintball, the sport rapidly sweeping the nation, is coming to Squaw Valley this summer. Squaw Valley’s paintball arena will open at High Camp, Squaw’s mountaintop oasis for summer activities. Paintball will be open daily starting mid-summer, and semi-automatic paintball guns, masks and safety equipment will be available for rent on-site. Open to the general public, Squaw Valley’s paintball will also be available for parties, corporate events and team building exercises.

Zip-Line
Kids can enjoy high flying fun at Squaw Valley this summer on the mountain’s new zip-line. Kids can soar over the mountain on a ride that is as thrilling as it is scenic. Squaw Valley is scheduled to open their new zip-line mid-summer pending snow melt conditions.
