Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows opening Nov. 16

August 25, 2018 By Jeffrey Weidel

Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows announced early this week its plans for opening for the 2018-19 season Friday, Nov. 16, weather permitting.

The 2017-18 season at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows saw 411 inches of snow and a Memorial Day closing, continuing its tradition of hosting Lake Tahoe’s longest ski and snowboarding season.

Squaw Valley is a scenic ski resort in Lake Tahoe that typically stays open later than its local rivals. Last year’s closing came on Memorial Day.

With approximately 80-plus days to go until the lifts start spinning, guests can secure access to Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows and 26 other destinations with the new Ikon Pass. The Ikon Pass destinations span four Canadian provinces and nine states, with four in California alone.

The Ikon Pass includes California resorts – Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, Mammoth Mountain, June Mountain and Big Bear Mountain Resort. Ikon Pass holders can take advantage of 45% off slopeside lodging at The Village at Squaw Valley when they book by Sept. 7, 2018 and non-passholders can save 30%.

Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows was voted “Best Ski Resort” in North America for the third year in a row by USA Today and 10Best Readers’ Choice.

The ski resort spans over 6,000 skiable acres across two mountains, skiers and riders of all ability levels are welcomed by over 65 percent beginner and intermediate terrain, legendary steeps, 14 easy-to-navigate mountain zones, and a custom app to make the most of every visit.

Squaw Valley features slopeside lodging at The Village at Squaw Valley, which is busy year round with numerous events and over 50 bars, restaurants and boutiques. With an annual average of 450 inches of snowfall and 300 sunny California days.
