I went up to Squaw Valley in 2013 for a meeting and stayed at the beautiful Resort at Squaw Creek.  In 1960, the Winter Olympics were held in Squaw Valley, and although it does not look big enough to hold a major sporting event, the area was able to host about thirty nations during the games in 1960.  During my stay at Squaw Valley, I tried some winter sports for the first time including snow shoeing and cross country skiing.  Cross Country Skiing was pretty fun, and it was a decent work out.  Snow Shoeing was also pretty cool despite the snow and cold.  In addition, I played broomball for the first time too!
