Squaw Valley 50th Anniversary Celebration
January 8-16, 2010

From the opening ceremonies in the Squaw Valley ice arena, to the Nordic ski trails in Tahoma on Lake Tahoe’s West Shore, and throughout the week-long competitions and nightly shows in the Olympic Village, to the last hockey game, athletes and spectators enjoyed one of the most memorable Olympics on record.

To celebrate this historic event, the Olympic Heritage Committee of the Squaw Valley Ski Museum Foundation has invited all 1960 athletes to a week of events being held January 8-17 in Squaw Valley and North Lake Tahoe.
