[Olympic Valley, Calif.] May 4, 2018 – The Spring Skiing Capital™ is in full swing at Squaw Valley with special events, themed weekends and more. The sun is shining, the High Camp Hot Tub is open and snow conditions are ideal for nearly a month of skiing and riding remaining. Nearly 19 feet of snow fell in “Miracle March,” capping the season total at almost 35 feet, and Squaw Valley will offer Tahoe’s longest season yet again. Closing Day is scheduled for Memorial Day on Monday, May 28, weather and conditions permitting.
Squaw Valley will shift skiing and riding exclusively to the upper mountain following the closure of KT-22 Express on Sunday, May 6. The resort will operate the iconic chair until 6pm on its closing day, a unique opportunity for die-hard skiers and riders looking to maximize their single-day vertical skied.
With the sun rising earlier to soften the snow, Squaw Valley lifts will operate 8am -2pm beginning Monday, May 7. Also starting Monday, May 7, the Aerial Tram will shift operations to 10am-4pm for access to High Camp activities as well as skiing and riding. The High Camp Hot Tub and Granite Bistro will be open daily 11am-3pm through May 28 and High Camp Marketplace will be open daily 10am-4pm.
