The team was fun to see the sights. 2000' higher than parking. Thrilling increase in height. Oncoming tram pictured.

Wow! Our village bedroom was beautiful! Nice full kitchen, living area, and the bed was super soft. Our view was right over the plaza. Check for events! We were there for a fall festival. We watched a concert from our patio.

I plan on staying in Reno in late March and driving to Squaw from Reno in a rental, do I need to consider the possibility of heavily snow covered roads, Do I need all wheel drive. I lived in Jersey and always had all wheel, so I have experience.

Andre Ray | Oct 23, 2020
Karen Abramson | Oct 23, 2020

I would rent an all-wheel drive absolutely. we were there two weeks ago and there was a little bit of snow that ended on Sunday. Monday we went on route i-80 and got stopped in a chain control traffic jam because there was snow in the pass. They checked every single car for chains or all-wheel drive and if you didn't have all-wheel drive they made you get off. It was a pretty scary drive. Definitely rent all-wheel drive.

I would go to the website and look to refund it. I am not sure on this but i believe you can get part of what the ticket cost. I went to the website if you got the insurance for then it is completely refundable if you just Google Ikon pass cancellation it will bring you to "Trip Preserver Online Claims"

I don't believe you can rent snowmobiles on the mountain. However you may be able to at The Resort at Squaw Creek nearby or at local companies in Truckee. Most likely need to be 18 to operate one but should be able to ride with an adult.

I want to take my 10 year old for snow boarding and lessons. Is there an area my 2 year old can play in the snow and ride his sled or tube for free while my older one snow boards? Or does every single thing cost?

Lacey Rose | Oct 24, 2019
C P | Oct 24, 2019

One lesson doesn't make a snowboarder out of a child. A regular lesson program works best. Some sports, like snowboarding and skiing, are similar to learning how to play a musical instrument. You will only get a taste of what it is like, rarely accomplishing much more.

Yes, the Funitel (aerial tram) to high Camp is beautiful, and gets you a great view of Lake Tahoe from atop. Also, the Olympic museum and history around the place is worth visiting. There's a hot tub and pool at high Camp too which is great to complement the snow all around. There's live music on weekends and quite a few good restaurants.
