Squaw offering tours of former Olympic sites

Squaw Valley is offering skiers and riders a glimpse into the past with 1960 Winter Games heritage tours.

These are three-hour private excursions of Squaw Valley’s on-mountain Olympic venues and highlight historic moments of the 1960 Winter Games.

The tours are led by professional guides who will lead participants down the same trails that were used as Olympic venues during the 1960 Winter Games. The private tours are available for individuals or groups of up to five people and cost $200 ($40 per person for a group of five).

As part of the tours, guides will also share insider-details on Squaw’s heritage and the story of the 1960 Winter Olympics.

Tours may be booked by calling 800.403.0206 or emailing lesson@squaw.com. It is suggested that participants have intermediate to advanced skiing or snowboarding skills for the tours.
