Ladies Clinics
Every Thursday through April 9th, Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe hosts their famous Ladies Clinics. Immerse yourself in a supportive environment and learn about topics such as balance, center of gravity, flexion and extension, ski equipment, weather and snow conditions.

Start the day with coffee and themed discussions, then hit the slopes with your fellow females and fine-tune your skills.

Take a Step Back into Olympic History at Squaw Valley
Tahoe’s Very Own Olympic Village
Squaw Valley is world-renowned, and for good reason. Home to the 1960 Winter Olympic Games, Squaw Valley became one of the United States’ largest and most popular ski areas. In 1949, Squaw Valley first opened as a quaint resort with fifty rooms, one chairlift, and two rope tows. In the five years leading up to the Winter Olympic Games, infrastructure was built as promised and Squaw Valley quickly evolved into its other name, “Olympic Valley”. Take the tram to the Olympic Museum and get a glimpse of the history that sparked this special place.
