Squaw Valley USA is a winter sports resort located in Lake Tahoe. For families with young children in tow, Squaw Valley offers an abundance of entertainment options. The cable car ride to High Camp is an exciting adventure for young kids. Just make sure to call in advance just in case operations are temporarily suspended due to a Wind Hold.

At High Camp, visitors can rent a pair of ice skates at the outdoor Olympic Ice Pavilion. Make sure you are dressed appropriately because the skating rink can be extremely cold and windy. However, the Olympic Ice Pavilion does offer a 360° view of the surrounding mountains, which is quite a sight to behold.

The Olympic museum was really a television and several display cases of Olympic memorabilia. You can easily see their entire exhibit in about 30 seconds. So, come to High Camp for the ice skating. Don’t make a special trip just for the museum.

I was not impressed by the fare at their food court. The pastrami in their pastrami sandwich didn’t look like any pastrami I’ve ever seen before. The Village offers more dining options if you can time your meals.
