The location! Squaw and Alpine are on the crest of the Sierra’s and get the most snow in Lake Tahoe. An American icon, Squaw Ski resort needs no introduction. Alpine Valley Ski area is a free 15 minute shuttle ride. Both resorts have a laid-back vibe. In spring and summer, the idyllic and sometimes wild Truckee river is a 5-minute drive with rafting, fishing, and camping. DL Bliss State Park is another summer favorite with white sand beaches and the scenic Rubicon Trail that winds along the lake rim to Emerald Bay. For the more adventurous, the area is a treasure trove of options – Eldorado National Forest, Emigrant Wilderness, Desolation Wilderness with countless hiking, backpacking, and mountain biking. After a camping trip or an extended hike, we love to stay at our peaceful condo with all its creature comforts before the return to hustle and bustle of our city life.
Our dear friends Biren and Yufen whose kids grew up skiing with ours, co-own the condo.
