Most ski resorts in the U.S. have been closed for more than a month. However, Squaw Valley ski resort in Lake Tahoe remains open, closing for good on Memorial Day.
The scenic Lake Tahoe resort is experiencing its longest ski season in a decade. Although neighboring Alpine Meadows ski resort closed earlier this month, Squaw Valley remains open and received several inches of new snow one week ago. Squaw is operating its tram, Funitel and three upper lifts Sunday and Monday.

As an added May bonus, friends of 2015-16 or 2016-17 season passholders can purchase a lift ticket for just $19, limited to one per passholder. Passholders from another resort can also enjoy a $19 lift ticket deal.
