Squaw Valley California (pop: 1700) is a lakefront resort town located on the western shore of Lake Tahoe in Placer County where the Truckee River drains from the Lake Tahoe.

It is the home of the Squaw Valley Ski Resort, the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics. Its ZIP code is 96146 and area code 530.

The Squaw Valley Ski Resort in Olympic Valley, California, is one of the largest and most high-concept ski areas in the United States, and was the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics. It is the second-largest ski area at Lake Tahoe (after Heavenly), boasting highly-advanced chairlifts (High speed quads and High speed six packs), as well as the only Funitel in the United States.

Because of the resort's popularity, the entire community of Olympic Valley is commonly referred to as "Squaw Valley." The resort attracts 600,000 skiers a year. Its usual run for skiing is from mid-November to late May
