Squaw to Open the Upper Mountain and 13 Lifts for Thanksgiving Day

Squaw Valley is slated to open its upper mountain peaks this Thursday thanks to seven feet of early season snowfall and enhanced snowmaking efforts

[Olympic Valley, Calif.] November 20, 2012 – Squaw Valley has announced that the resort will be opening an incredible amount of terrain this Thanksgiving Day and throughout Thanksgiving weekend. Squaw Valley will be opening 13 lifts including seven lifts on the upper mountain – a rare occasion this early in the season. This will be the first time in ten years that Squaw Valley has opened Emigrant chairlift, located on one of Squaw’s highest peaks, for Thanksgiving Day.

The 13 lifts that are scheduled to be open Thanksgiving Day include the Funitel, Gold Coast Express, Shirley Lake Express, Emigrant, Solitude, Mountain Meadow, Belmont, Bailey’s Beach, the Aerial Tram, Squaw Creek, Red Dog, the Tucker carpet at SnoVentures and the Murphy carpet at Squaw Kids. The Belmont terrain park will also be open, offering 10 small to medium features.*

Squaw Valley is able to open the upper mountain thanks to the great early season snowfall and the resorts’ vastly improved snowmaking system. So far, Mother Nature has delivered 84 inches or 7 feet of snow to the resort’s upper mountain since October 22. Cold temperatures at higher elevations have also allowed the resort to make additional snow on the upper mountain, creating a solid base for skiing and riding this Thanksgiving.

In addition to skiing and riding, guests can also enjoy mountaintop ice skating at High Camp this Thanksgiving. Squaw Valley’s ice rink is located at 8,200 feet and offers spectacular views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains. The ice rink will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting. Click here for more ice rink details.

For those looking to take full advantage of this winter season, Squaw and Alpine recently announced that the Tahoe Super Pass is now better than ever. Gold and Silver passholders now have access to Sierra-at-Tahoe, an added value dubbed the Tahoe Super Pass Plus. The Tahoe Super Pass Plus is available at www.tahoesuperpass.com starting at $519 for adult silver passes and $749 for adult gold passes.

Regular bronze Tahoe Super Passes are still available for $429, though they do not include access to Sierra-at-Tahoe. No matter which pass is the most suitable, skiers and riders are encouraged to buy now as prices are slated to increase as much as $100 after December 7. The resorts’ first-ever unrestricted college pass, valid at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, starts at just $389, with prices guaranteed through December 17.

*All operations are weather and conditions permitting.

Squaw Valley Named Top Ski Resort by Outside Magazine

[Olympic Valley, Calif.] November 17, 2012 – Squaw Valley has been selected as the No.1 Ski Resort in Outside Magazine’s rankings for Top 40 Best Ski Resorts in North America. Outside Magazine posted their rankings online on Monday, November 5. The full article is available at OutsideOnline.com, click here for a link to the article.

Outside Magazine sites 300 bluebird days, 450 inches of annual snowfall, terrain variety and an abundance of activities for kids and families as reasons for Squaw Valley’s top ranking. The article also touted Squaw’s focus on safety and variety of après ski options; as well as commended Squaw Valley’s ski rental shop for offering “the smoothest rental process in the states.”

"We are truly honored to have been named No. 1 Ski Resort in North America by Outside Magazine. With their stunning images and the quality and variety of their writing, Outside Magazine has always been a favorite of mine. And I'm not the only one, such that it has become possibly the single most significant and influential publication within the ski industry," said Andy Wirth, president and CEO of Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows.
Squaw Valley's placement as the No. 1 Resort in North America comes in the midst of the resort's five year capital improvement plan, deemed the Renaissance. Over the course of five years, Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows are investing $70 million into every facet of the resort experience. Now in year two of the Renaissance, the resorts have invested nearly $40 million, with notable improvements including all new terrain parks, several new restaurants, a new ticket center and the world's first ski-in/ski-out Starbucks - just to name a few.
"One of our primary goals for the Renaissance is to make our mountains more friendly and approachable for all of our guests,” continued Wirth. “This No. 1 ranking is affirmation of our work over the past two years. We will celebrate our achievement for a bit, then press on as there is still much work to be done for the near and the long term - as in many ways, we’re just getting started."

Outside Magazine notes that their team “spent months scoring and ranking dozens of resorts from California to Maine, British Columbia to Quebec,” to come up with their final Top 40 list.

Homewood to open for Thanksgiving weekend celebration Nov. 23-25 with skiing, snowboarding, snow play and shopping With snow on the ground and in the forecast, Homewood Mountain Resort is thrilled to announce that it will open on "White Friday," Nov. 23 through Sunday, Nov. 25 for a special Thanksgiving holiday weekend of skiing, snowboarding, sledding and shopping. Current plans call for operations on Homewood’s beginner area above the North Lodge, as well as additional terrain if weather and conditions permit. Beginner lift tickets for the holiday weekend will cost just $35, while all-mountain tickets will be $59. Homewood’s team has been busy preparing the resort to ensure that the base area will provide an excellent surface for beginners and those looking to sharpen rusty skills after a summer away from the slopes. And Homewood’s terrain park crew is planning for a holiday weekend terrain park option for freestyle skiers and riders above the beginner terrain. Homewood will offer its full-service rental shop, ski and snowboard beginner lesson programs, as well as the North Lodge cafeteria and bar – with all the Thanksgiving weekend football games on TV – for the weekend celebration. Pick up your season pass, or buy one! Homewood's Guest Services Office will be open at 8 a.m. on "White Friday" to make sure we get season passes printed for all who want to get out on the hill and enjoy the new snow. And if you haven't yet bought your pass, you can secure your unrestricted Homewood season pass in-person and never worry about blackout dates, wind holds or overcrowded slopes all winter long. Adult no-blackout passes are just $299 for locals, returning passholders, and other-area passholders. And just $399 for everyone else. Family passes (2 adult + 2 child/teen passes) are just $799! (That's less than the price of 1 unrestricted pass at many Tahoe resorts.) Seniors (62-69) pay just $199 for unrestricted access. And Seniors 70+ pay just $159. Get full details at SkiHomewood.com/seasonpasses. Bonus Privileges Homewood season pass holders will enjoy unlimited skiing/snowboarding privileges at Red Lodge Mountain Resort as well as five days of skiing/riding at Whitefish Mountain Resort, and now half-price tickets at Alta too.

For a truly incredible Thanksgiving, guests can spend the morning skiing or snowboarding on Squaw Valley’s legendary slopes, or go ice skating at the resorts’ mountaintop skating rink overlooking views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada.
