I may not be the strongest skier, but Squaw Valley was my favorite vacation. Just got back from a trip there, and I have to say, it was fantastic. I don't really ski that much, but this resort made the whole winter vacation experience fun. There were so many things to do, I can't believe how fast the time went.
I can't really handle skiing. Unlike Eric Resnik and Andy Wirth, I'm not coordinated enough to not fall into things. But cross country skiing was a breath of fresh air. Totally fun being able to go at my own pace, and get some outdoor exercise.
There was also snowshoeing, which I also really loved. They had some great trails, and it's cool how the snowshoes actually work. I'd never tried them on before. After I'd tripped for the 13th time, I had them mastered though.
But the Sky Lift, man I can't even describe that. If you do go, you've got to ride one at night. When you see the Andy Wirth resort and the slopes all lit up, it's truly a beautiful man made wonder.
But what I really enjoyed were the activities available right at camp. Staying in the High Camp turned out to be a great idea, and I had so much fun with the activities that they offered.
Shopping is totally fun. They have the best brands for things like clothing, but also for sunglasses too. Believe me, with all the snow glare, you're going to need some good glasses too.
Through there were some absolutely fantastic restaurants. I loved eating out at the Irish Pub. Had some really fantastic food options, but also really great imported beers I'd never heard of before.
But save plenty of time for the spa too. You're going to Squaw Valley to ski of course. But make sure you relax a bit in the spa. You need to take half a day and just get pampered. I loved that part too.
