SALE OF SQUAW VALLEY
SQUAW VALLEY USA TO BE ACQUIRED BY KSL CAPITAL PARTNERS
More than $50 million in capital improvements planned for legendary mountain resort
OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. and DENVER (November 23, 2010)--KSL Capital Partners, LLC announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire substantially all of the shares of The Squaw Valley Development Company, which includes all facets of Squaw Valley USA ski operations, the Village at Squaw Valley and related real estate holdings. The transaction is expected to close prior to year end.
Squaw Valley USA is a world-renowned mountain resort located near Lake Tahoe in Northern California, offering 4,000 acres and 2,850 vertical feet of skiing and riding spanning six peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Squaw Valley was founded in 1949 by Alexander Cushing and successfully hosted the 1960 Olympic Winter Games.
“Squaw Valley and the Cushing family have been synonymous for more than 60 years,” said Nancy W. Cushing, Squaw Valley USA Chairman of the Board. “Alex’s dream was to create a world-class, four-season destination resort in one of the most beautiful places in the world. This transaction will result in the culmination of that dream by providing the necessary resources to ensure Squaw Valley’s continued improvement and success for generations to come.”
KSL is a private equity firm based in Denver dedicated to investments in travel and leisure businesses. KSL’s current and prior investments include some of the premier properties in travel and leisure, including Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa, Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa, La Costa Resort and Spa, Doral Golf Resort & Spa, Hotel del Coronado, the Claremont Hotel Club & Spa, the San Francisco Bay Club and its sister clubs, as well as ClubCorp, the world’s largest owner of private golf and business clubs.
KSL’s founders, Eric Resnick and Michael Shannon, also have extensive hands-on experience in the snowsports industry. From 1985 to 1992, Shannon was President of Vail Associates, a predecessor company to Vail Resorts. Resnick held a variety of positions at Vail, including Vice President of Strategic Planning and Treasurer from 1996 through 2000. Both Shannon and Resnick also serve as board members for the United States Ski & Snowboard Team Foundation and the Vail Valley Foundation, and Resnick is on the Organizing Committee of the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships.
“Squaw Valley is the birthplace of the modern mountain resort in the United States with a heritage, history, amenities and perhaps most of all, extraordinary terrain that can never be recreated,” said Resnick, KSL’s Managing Director. “With Squaw Valley USA, Alex Cushing made a profound impact on the snowsports industry and we’re honored to build upon the resort’s legacy.”
Recently appointed Squaw Valley President and CEO Andy Wirth will continue in his role. Wirth came to Squaw Valley in August 2010 after maintaining executive level positions with Intrawest, based out of Vancouver, British Columbia and Steamboat, Colorado, and has 24 years of experience in the mountain resort and hospitality industry.
“In the short period of time he’s been at Squaw Valley, all of us at KSL recognize that Andy’s extensive experience and leadership has already had a profound and positive impact on the operations. We look forward to working with him to create an even brighter future for Squaw Valley,” said Resnick.
“KSL’s pending acquisition of Squaw Valley is great news for our guests and our dedicated, hardworking team,” stated Wirth. “KSL’s expertise in hospitality, recreation, and guest service will provide the support and resources for Squaw Valley’s talented management team to advance the resort’s enterprise-wide focus on the guest experience. The KSL team has already committed more than $50 million in capital improvements over the next three to five years here at Squaw, clearly supporting their commitment to the mountain and guest experience.”
For the 2010-11 season Squaw Valley has undertaken more than $5 million in capital improvements, including renovation of the famous Olympic House and Gold Coast facilities. These renovations are a part of the company’s comprehensive focus on all facets of the guest’s dining experience. Additionally, in support of the resort’s augmented focus on the quality of the snow surface and trail grooming, the company has also purchased three additional state-of-the-art snow cats, complementing its current fleet of 22 grooming machines. This is part of an intense focus on grooming and snow surface quality that will result in a 25% increase of grooming operations.
“Squaw Valley is renowned for the challenging, if not legendary, lines off KT-22 and the entire mountain. The resort also offers some of the best and most extensive terrain for beginner and intermediate skiers and riders in North America. The company’s commitment to providing even more grooming will help ensure the finest, most enjoyable snow surface possible for our customers who are seeking world class groomed skiing and riding,” stated Wirth.
Squaw Valley USA opened for winter operations on Saturday, November 20th. Through the weekend a strong winter storm brought nearly 6 feet of snow to the mountain with 2 to 3 more feet expected this week.

The storm, predicted to deliver up to 6 feet to the Sierras, has everyone excited for La Niña’s impact on the Tahoe region this winter. According to weather experts, Lake Tahoe has not seen a November snowstorm this large in the past six years.
“I’ve been here for twenty years and I’ve never before seen a storm set up like this before Thanksgiving,” said Mike Livak, General Manager of Squaw Valley USA. “With snow totals predicted to total up to six feet at el. 5,500 feet, just imagine what great conditions we’ll have above our base area located at 6,200 feet.”
