I bought the beginner's ticket that included a lesson, rentals, and my lift ticket. I have an absolutely fantastic experience! My instructor Carly was amazing. He took the full time to give everyone involved their true money's worth. He was obviously dedicated to getting us all educated and giving us the tools we needed to enjoy ourselves. If you get him as an instructor, you're in luck! The mountain was beautiful and the people were helpful. This is definitely a great deal!

Gotta hit slope in early morning to enjoy excellent condition of snow before in the afternnon starts because it will usually become icy.

If you check ticket sales online at Squaw.com in May it's cheaper to buy a season pass than wait until later in the year and buy a 4 or 6 day lift ticket!

Spring Skiing: Ski the bottom of the Mountain in the morning Snow King and KT22; then move up the Mountain when the snow on the bottom starts getting too soft.
