Weekend Weather

Bring Layers!

We are in store for a weekend of classic Tahoe weather: snow, wind, sun and varying temperatures. According to the NOAA forecast, we could see some snow Thursday before the skies clear and weather warms up. Friday will be highs in 40s and lows in the 20s at night. Saturday and Sunday warm up a bit with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s when the sun sets.

Remember to bring sunscreen and sunglasses for the daytime and extra layers to bundle up at night. We recommend wool or down layers, mittens, hats, waterproof boots, scarves and festive onsies!

Getting Here & Parking

Use Public Transit and Carpool

Parking at Squaw Valley is free, but will likely reach capacity on this busy weekend. We recommend that you arrive early, carpool or take our TART local public transit. Please do not drink and drive!
