Olympic Sign

Squaw Valley 1960

The Olympic sign and its flags of competing nations welcomes visitors to Squaw Valley, Calif. It's about all that's left of the 1960 winter games. This 1981 New York Times article about the ongoing use of facilities built for the 1980 Lake Placid games mentions that Squaw Valley's ski jumps were torn up right after the 1960 Olympics and that the speed skating rink quickly became a parking lot.
