The hot sandwiches are really good here. One of the best chicken parm I've had in a while. They have blood orange beer on tap and that's a great pair.

It was great! The pizza was delicious and I loved the skier vibe! One cool thing to check out is that up stairs, It has a chair from the original KT22!!

Le Chamois is one of the most well-known places to grab a drink after a long day of skiing at Palasides Tahoe. It's no frills like most of the best apres spots at ski mountains, but this place is a must visit to refresh and recharge! It was very crowded on the occasion that we stopped by. The service was still excellent.

We stopped by for a few drinks and stayed for the massive customer appreciation party. This is a place that is perfectly situated as the heart of the Palisades. An apt metaphor of the vibes radiating from Le Chamois and the people here who all refer to themselves as locals. The staff was so inviting, we were treated like long-time friends. It felt like we could have been in our own neighborhood bar. Tip: buy the pre-paid punch card for beer and save a ton of money while you share the card with friends!

Definitely the aprés ski place to go. You'll find plenty of people enjoying a beer or glass of wine on the patio when the weather is nice. The food is typical bar food. If you go low on mountain run (between KT22 and Squaw One lifts) and ski around the Olympic house you can ski right up to the patio assuming the snow coverage is good. Dogs are welcome on the patio and tend to roam free.

Coolest ski bar you'll find! Nice that it is on the 2nd floor with lots of windows so you can see the mountain.

Fun atmosphere, great for apres beers. Will definitely stop by next time I'm out - highly recommend the speedy sandwich!

Best apres-ski place on the mountain and in Lake Tahoe. Full of locals and visitors enjoying drinks after a long day skiing. Only downside is it can get too packed and ordering a drink takes longer than anticipated if you’re short like me

Great vibe, friendly staff, amazing view. Feels like a proper local skier hangout #notCorporate

Such a fun loft bar! Decor is so nice and ski-themed, which is EXACTLY what I want when coming in after a day of skiing! None of this normal bar nonsense. Good beer, nice atmosphere. Kinda weird that they had individual bathrooms that were gender-specific. I did appreciate that they had free tampons in the women’s at least. Doing good work 👏

Absolutely packed. A mad house, but if you're looking for a classic post ski drinking extravaganza at 8,000 ft you're in the right place. The pizza is pretty good. Obviously the pitcher prices are unreasonable, but you're at a ski resort what do you expect. Dress warm because once the sun sets it gets very cold!

Paisley and the rest of the staff did a phenomenal job when huge ski club came in and ordered a balizzion pizzas and food! I was very impressed with the efficiency and handling the orders and mass of people! And the food was bomb. 10/10 cant wait to eat here again. Ps order the olympian pizza.

Best Apres bar in North America! They have delicious pizza, amazing appetizers and homemade soup. The famous Loft Bar is upstairs and outside is another fun bar and outdoor dining area. And, it's independently owned by a local family!

The Chammy is the best place at the base of Squaw to get a slice of pizza and share some beers with your friends after an epic day skiing at Squaw Valley!

Definitely a locals crowd. Best on a spring day when the patio is warm and apres ski crown large. Buy a 20 punch beer card in advance saves you $1 per beer making price $5 premium beer and $4 for Bud. Inside bar is small and crowded and full of dudes. Locals love this place.

Extremely crowded gathering area in the back. Difficult to move around without bumping into others holding beers or pizza in hand. Recommend going on a non-peak time (maybe before lifts close?)

My Brussel sprouts were burnt to the crisp. So was the person next to me and they said their hamburger was cold

The wings are microwaved, like the kind you would get from dominos or Papa John's.
