Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows awarded ‘Best Ski Resort’

December 11, 2016 By Jeffrey Weidel

It is a two-peat for Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, which was once again awarded the Readers’ Choice Poll for “Best Ski Resort.”

Out of the 20 resorts nominated by a panel of pro skiers and snowboarders, USA Today and 10Best announced that their readers selected Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows as the 2017 winner. This was the second consecutive win for the resort after it secured the top spot in 2016.

With an annual average of 450 inches of snowfall and 300 sunny days, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is well known for its spring skiing and annually one of the longest ski and snowboard seasons in Lake Tahoe.

We send sincere thanks to our loyal guests for their proud support and look to continue to build on this momentum in the 2016-17 season.”

With an annual average of 450 inches of snowfall and 300 sunny days, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is well known for its spring skiing and annually one of the longest ski and snowboard seasons in Lake Tahoe.
