Olympic Valley - Part 3 "High Camp"

The final jewel which resides above Shirley Canyon is High Camp. The 1960 first televised Winter Olympics were held here within the valley itself. I thought the ice hockey was played at the rink at High Camp but in fact it was played at the Blyth Arena just below no biggy. High Camp has great views of Lake Tahoe and the region. When we arrived everything was closed it was Fathers Day however when open they have a pool, hot tub, bar, cafe, ice cream shop, Olympic Museum, tennis courts and ice hockey arena. After the mining towns in the valley below proved less lucrative and were abandoned the Southern Pacific Railroad purchased the land. When they did not build a railroad pass through here they deeded the land to a famous Skier known as Wayne Poulsen who eventually brought in an investor Alex Cushing which led to the building of the ski resort you see today and High Camps ski courses. They also have an ariel tram which in 1978 was responsible for the deaths of four individuals and injured numerous riders when two of the cable cars collided. One of the cables sliced right through the tram car. Due to high winds the tram was closed or we would have ridden the 2000' descent so we would eventually have to get back down into Shirley Canyon back into the valley below. Among the oddities found here at about 8k are these pods which pop when you squeeze them and some strange vocalization perhaps an EVP. Over the years High Camp has been the center stage for world class snowboarders, skiers and figure skating. You will have to accept my apology the winds were so high you really cannot hear me very well sorry but we made it and we did it without ever taking the tram. I wish the winds were not so strong but everyone gets it great views of the Granite Chief, Squaw and many other prominent peaks.
