Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski resorts in Lake Tahoe will host the sixth annual Kid-O-Rama celebration Feb. 14-21.
This family-friendly event features street parties, live music, cookie happy-hour, free face painting, kid-approved game and craft room, and a fan-favorite Big Truck Day.
New to Kid-O-Rama this year is the Big Truck Day. Offered at both mountains for the first time, it invites youngsters to get behind the wheel of some heavy-duty machinery, including fire trucks, snowplows, grooming machines, snowmobiles and more.
Big Truck Day is Feb. 16 and Feb. 19 from 3-5 p.m. in The Village at Squaw Valley. At Alpine Meadows, Big Truck Day will be Saturday, Feb. 14 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Also new to Kid-O-Rama is the Light Up the Night, which will take over the SnoVentures Activity Zone with snow-tubing and mini-snowmobiling under the stars. Snowtubing lanes will be lit with colored lights, and free glow sticks for kids and families. Light Up the Night is Feb. 14 and Feb. 21 from 4-7 p.m.
This year’s Kid-O-Rama includes a packed schedule of events with daily activities for families to enjoy. With the recent snow storm and investments in snowmaking totaling more than $5 million, both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows currently boast good skiing and riding. The resorts currently have 31 lifts and 90 trails open across both mountains.
