Squaw Valley skiing was fantastic; diverse and intereting terrain, great lift service and no crowds during the week.
Great steeps and challenges off Granite Chief and Headwall Express were our pick. We were lucky to arrive just after a record snow fall, so conditions were excellent.
The quality of the snow was surprisingly good; better than what we expected for California. Accommdation very good, although we didn''t use facilities.
Underground secure parking included in tarrif. Resort is big enough to provide what you need, but has small village feel.
Visit Alpine Meadows and Northstar while you''re there - quite different and close by.
