Wild West Weekend Returns to Squaw Valley

Olympic Valley, CA – California’s Squaw Valley ski resort saddles up once again for this month’s  Wild West Weekend with a host of western-themed events high in the Sierra. Wild West Weekend offers adults and kids the opportunity to channel their inner-cowboys at the High Camp Corral for western-style fun. Pony rides, a petting zoo, western shoot-outs, and two days of live music are all part of the festivities scheduled to take place on July 21 and July 22.

After last summer’s hit performances, the 601 Railroad Regulators will be returning for both days of Wild West Weekend to perform Old West reenactments, quick-draw demonstrations, gun safety lessons and rowdy skits. Also expected to be big hits for families are the free face painting, petting zoo, pony rides and paintball target practice.
