What can I say - I groove on history and museums. This Squaw Valley Ski Museum is a cool little space (one room) with lots of photos and memorabilia from the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley. It's dense and I learned a lot of cool facts. It was fun to see the aerial photos of the original Squaw Olympic Valley, and then compare them to what is there now. There are also some very cool photos of early skiing in the Tahoe area, and examples of historic ski equipment. No more than 5-10 minutes is needed to take this in, and the museum offers a nice break from the Disneyland that is Village at Squaw Valley. Highly worthy. The docents are super knowledgeable and friendly. And it's free - donations gladly accepted. It is poorly advertised. I found it by accident. Even the website won't tell you where the museum is (maybe this is a temporary location). It's across from the Auld Dubliner Irish Pub.
