Squaw Valley

The Village
The Village is small, with around a dozen or so main buildings, and has the close-knit feel of a quaint European village. It's the ski area that draws visitors though, not the village. The 2001/02 season marked the transformation of Squaw Valley into a true four-season recreation destination, with major new developments by Intrawest. Highlighting the changes was the grand opening of Phase One (of 4) of the much-anticipated 13-acre village, estimated to cost around US$250 million.

First Ascent
Phase One, called First Ascent, brought new slopeside lodgings, shopping and eateries to the resort’s base area. It has dramatically changed the face of Squaw Valley by adding three buildings, including 139 mountain-side condominiums, 19 stores and restaurants, and approximately 250 underground parking spaces.

22 Station
Phase Two of the project, named 22 Station, was completed in 2003. The European-style village includes 640 lodgings units and 80 boutique stores, restaurants and galleries. These have redefined the resort and gone some way in meeting the need for more accommodations within Squaw Valley.
