Geocaching
Geocachers can ride Squaw Valley's scenic Aerial Tram up to High Camp, el. 8200 feet, to find 10 caches hidden among the mountain's peaks using GPS coordinates or Squaw’s preprogrammed GPS units. Guest should allow 3+ hours to discover all boxes. Hiking ability range from moderate to above moderate.
How It Works:
- Geocaching is free with your Aerial Tram ticket or 2013-14 Tahoe Super Pass.
- GPS units can be rented daily at the High Camp Retail Shop for free ( a deposit will be required) or you can use your own. Rental units have cache locations pre-programmed.
- Get a geocache passport from High Camp Guest Services or print it here to record your discoveries.
- Geocache passports have the coordinates of the boxes
- Find as many of the 10 geocaches as you can.
- Each cache contains a prize and log sheet for you to sign.
- For each cache that you find record the box number and code number in your passport.
- Turn in your passport for discounts at the High Camp retail shop or The North Face or other participating Squaw Valley retail stores
- GPS units can be returned at High Camp or the North Face store in the Village at Squaw.

What is Geocaching
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which participants use a GPS (global positioning system) handheld device to locate more than 430,000 caches or treasure boxes, hidden around the world on all seven continents including Antarctica. These caches contain small treasures, usually toys or other little trinkets.
As brilliant blue skies and warm temperatures return to the Sierras, Squaw Valley prepares to open for summer 2013. This summer brings a variety of outdoor activities including base area paintball, roller skating, geocaching, disc golf, hiking, scenic Aerial Tram rides and the High Camp Pool and Hot Tub. With incredible views of Lake Tahoe in a pristine alpine setting, Squaw Valley is the ultimate destination for this summer's big adventures.
Thanks for joining us this season. The highlights were many. From an opening day in October to the US Alpine Championships. We've put a few of our favorite moments together in the video above. We hope you'll enjoy reliving some of the season. We'll miss skiing and riding but will content ourselves with hiking, biking, Lake Tahoe, golf, kayaking, and enjoying these majestic mountains. What will you do as you wait for the first snowflakes of next winter?

The 23rd Annual Cushing Crossing will be the best event of the spring season. The original pond skimming event that started a spring resort ritual. Every year we gather a celebrity judging panel and amazing emcee's for this spectacle. Filled with big spills and laughable thrills this is one spring event that you don't want to miss.
Registration for this event is $20 and is limited to 50 entrants. Lift ticket not required for entry.
