Mountain Information

Squaw Valley:
Squaw Valley USA is Lake Tahoe's premiere ski resort with an average of 460" (38 feet) of snowfall and 75% of the days being sunny per year. Continuously ranked in the top 5-10 ski resorts in North America by top snowboarding & ski magazines, this is what riding is in Tahoe all about! Come experience the 34 lifts, including North America's only Funitel and an aerial Cable Car. Check out the 6 peaks, 3 terrain parks, the 550 foot long Superpipe, the 2,850 vertical feet of fun and excitement and over 4,000 acres of terrain for all tastes and abilities.

Northstar at Tahoe:
Northstar at Tahoe Resort's parks and pipes offer progressive, innovative features, including 90+ jumps & jibs, two pipes, unique signature features, and of course, The Stash-freestyle terrain in the ultimate natural environment. Northstar rider Jussi Oksanen describes it best, "What I like about the parks is that they have it all, whatever you feel like riding that day, and you will find it. You can either hit the mini-park, bigger jumps, of hit The Stash if there is fresh snow-you will always have something fun to ride". This winter, Northstar is host to events including the final stop of the AST Winter Dew Tour, Transworld Trans-Am, Burton Am Open Series, and their own amateur freestyle event series, and Pinball Rally to name a few.

Optional Lessons: First timer lessons available through SWAT with discount for snowboarders and skiers. Sign-up when you arrive.

80's Rockstar Party with DeeJay O

SWAT takes a step back into the 80's, where Madonna was hot and Billy Idol rocked. Think Miami Vice, Ferris Bueller, and who can forget Pretty in Pink? Don't forget the crimped hair, neon wear, legwarmers, and acid wash jeans. Rock your leather, the mullet, eyeliner and crazy spiked hair, or bring on the Flashdance, parachute pants, jelly bracelets and preppy look. You get the idea...this party will be off the hook!

The White Party with DeeJay O

So you think can dance...  Now is your chance to prove it! Kick off the snow and step into SWAT's Second Annual White Party. This Winter Wonderland will be hot, so come dressed to impress...you must wear all white!
