Welcome to Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows. Info for Summer 2021 activities can be found at this link: http://https://www.squawalpine.com/high-camp-experience.Here's a few tips to make the most out of your day on the mountain.
- Wear sturdy shoes or hiking boots. Many of the mountain trails traverse rugged terrain.
- Squaw’s mountain environment is prone to sudden weather and temperature changes so please carry adequate clothing.
- Bring plenty of water (never drink directly from a stream) and a snack or energy bar.
- Always use sunscreen and wear a hat and sunglasses for protection from the high altitude sun.
- Please respect Squaw Valley’s beautiful natural environment by observing all signs and staying on designated trails and roads. Do not cut switchbacks. Stay out of any construction or roped off areas.
- In case of an emergency, dial 0 from a phone at the base of our lifts or have a Squaw Valley team member contact an EMT.
- Please stay off chairlifts and towers. During our summer maintenance, lifts may be started without warning.
- Lightning travels at the speed of light. If lightning is in the area, ALL Tram operations will be suspended until lightning clears.
- No smoking, please. The fire danger in this area is very high during the summer.
- Last tram down is at 4:30, pending weather.
