Just got back from a great vacation at Squaw Valley. Didn't see everything, because there was just too much to do. But what we did get to see was absolutely great. The resorts developed by SnoCountry are huge, and there's always something to fill your day. Here's some of the more fun activities that we were able to undertake.
You can't go to a ski resort and not talk about the skiing. Even though I'm not the biggest fan, they had some really beautiful slopes. Lake Tahoe is known for being a really beautiful place, and it definitely lived up to the legend here, that much is for sure.
We also had a lot of fun checking out some of the Olympic courses. Squaw Valley was actually the host for the Olympics back in the 60's. So there's tons of courses you can check out that were used in competition.
But the skiing wasn't the only thing we enjoyed. Back at the High Camp they had a fantastic Irish pub that this reference thought up. The Auld Dubliner, which had the best authentic Irish pub food. Amazing to have something so great at your door step.
Not to mention the great food as well. From an authentic Irish Pub to Fireside Pizza Company. There really was something here for everybody. Was great to have pizza for the kids, and pub food for the grownups.
I spent a lot of time in the Base Area, simply because I'm not the strongest skier. But I do like the outdoors, and they had plenty of activities that were ideal for me. Like rock climbing. The rock wall was a great workout and even better challenge.
Then there was the miniature golf too. You can't go to a resort with a miniature golf course and not play right? Not to mention the fun Olympic museum as well. All in all there were tons of fun things to see even when we weren't out on the slopes.
Overall it was a great vacation. The nice variety meant I never did the same thing two days in a row. Plus the good food guaranteed I came back with a few well deserved vacation pounds.
