Squaw Valley Offers Free Summer Tram Tickets to Active Duty Military

[Olympic Valley, Calif.] June 13, 2012 – Squaw Valley is pleased to announce that the resort will be offering free Aerial Tram tickets to active duty members of the military this summer - valid seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. Members of the military can show proof of active duty status to Squaw Valley's Tickets and Season Pass Center to redeem their Tram tickets.

Squaw's Aerial Tram takes a scenic ride up to High Camp, elevation 8,200 feet. The 2,000 foot vertical climb offers breath-taking views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Once at High Camp, guests can enjoy mountaintop activities such as paintball, roller skating, hiking, disc golf, swimming and poolside dining (some activities require additional tickets).

"Squaw Valley has a proud tradition of honoring our country's servicemen and women with complimentary skiing and riding – a tradition that we are now extending to our summer operations," said Andy Wirth, president and CEO of Squaw Valley. "We are proud to support the outstanding ladies and gentlemen that serve our country and we are extremely thankful for all that they selflessly do for this nation."

Squaw Valley's new summer military ticket policy complements the resort's policy of offering free lift tickets to active duty members of the military throughout the winter season. The complimentary tickets are valid to military members Sunday through Friday, excluding holiday blackout dates.
