Squaw Valley hosts Raising the Rings celebration Feb. 6-8, 2009
Johnny Moseley to host gala and auction on Saturday; first tracks up for grabs on Sunday
Tahoe.com
Squaw Valley is pulling out all the stops with this week’s Raising the Rings, a series of events both on and off the mountain, with proceeds benefiting a new Olympic Heritage, North Lake Tahoe Ski History Museum and the 2010 Olympic Heritage Celebration.
“When Squaw Valley USA won the Olympic Winter Games bid back in 1955, it was cause for celebration,” said tourism director Andy Chapman of the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association. “It was the first return of the Olympic Games to North America in 28 years. The party continues this (week), when visitors will get a taste of North Lake Tahoe’s rich Olympic heritage with Raising of the Rings, and later in 2010 with the season-long 2010 Olympic Heritage Celebration.”
No Squaw Valley Olympic celebration would be complete without a chance to meet Jonny Moseley. Moseley might be the most well-known athlete from the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan, where he scored a gold medal in freestyle skiing. Moseley returns Saturday to his Squaw Valley roots, where the Bay Area resident was a member of the Squaw Valley Freestyle Ski Team, to host “An Evening with Jonny Moseley,” a benefit gala and auction. Tickets to the 6:30 to 10 p.m. event at the PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn in Olympic Valley are $125 for adults and $200 for couples.
After meeting Moseley, festival-goers can be like Moseley on Sunday when participants get to be the envy of skiers everywhere by making First Tracks on the Mountain. Squaw Valley’s star athletes will be leading the tour from 7 to 9 a.m., prior to the lifts opening to the public. First Tracks on the Mountain also includes an Alpine continental breakfast, and is $25 per person (with season pass or lift ticket). Reservations are limited.
The weekend officially kicks off Friday at 9 p.m. when party-goers are encouraged to pull out their 1960s attire and vintage ski gear for the 1960 Olympic Retro Party at Sandy’s Pub at the Resort at Squaw Creek in Olympic Valley. Prizes will be awarded for the best outfits. Attendees must 21 years or older and cover is $8 per person.
In addition, there is an Exclusive Après-Ski Wine Tasting at The Arc, the new restaurant at Squaw Valley’s mid-mountain Gold Coast, on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. Participants will join Squaw Valley and North Lake Tahoe luminaries for an afternoon of wine tasting, appetizers and conversation. Tickets are $25 per person.
