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!

Photo Gallery: The Great Dig Out at Palisades

What a turbulent but exciting month March has been so far! The snow depth on our upper mountain is upward of 18 feet, and we are at 166% of total average snowfall. We started the first day of March off with 3 feet of snow in 24 hours. Then, after a small break in the weather, we received snow (and at some elevations rain) every day between March 5th and March 15th! Our season-to-date snowfall total is now sitting at 662 inches, or just over 55 FEET of snow. 14 of those feet have fallen in March alone!
