Mid-course
The County approves our application to build a museum in the park at the entrance to Squaw Valley, and we launch a Capital Campaign to build a world-class facility in the park at the entrance to Squaw Valley.
The Finish Line
The museum opens for the entire world to know why the 1960 Winter Olympics are claimed to be the “best Olympics ever;” and that after 150 years of making history in the Sierra Nevada, past, present and future athletes and ski pioneers will be recognized for their contributions to our mountain culture and Sierra ski resorts will have a place to share their unique histories.
The Winners – the North Lake Tahoe community, skiing enthusiasts and visitors from around the world. The museum building will be a Cultural Center with year-round facilities for conferences, classes, lectures, films, temporary exhibits and a unique setting for social events. A Hall of Fame will honor local athletes and ski industry innovators, and a satellite Visitor's Information Center will welcome visitors to North Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley.
