With ski season upon us, an frequent thought is, 'if we just owned our own ski condo...' So here's a quick look at one ski area that apparently is 'under-developed.' That's Squaw Valley, in the Lake Tahoe area. Lake Tahoe itself is huge, and surrounded by lots of potential vacation spots, in both Nevada and California, from South Lake Tahoe to North Lake Tahoe and all points in-between. However, the best skiing, according to some, is at Squaw Valley, the site developed for the 1960 Olympics. It's been growing ever since. A recent Nevada newspaper article points out that it is still growing...most of the Placer County new developments are taking place in Squaw Valley. One reason they mention is that the other areas have a surfeit of (and therefore, vacant) vacation homes, making it less attractive to build more.
Whether you pick Squaw Valley for your own second home, or any where in Tahoe, remember our advice: stay there for a vacation in all seasons first, and be sure you like it. Happy trails!
