Built for the 1960 Winter Olympic Games at Squaw Valley. Afterr the Olympic Games were over it was renamed Squaw Valley Theatre. It later became a movie house, which was closed in the late-1980’s.
In 2001, the Opera House was converted into the Far East Guest Services Center for the Squaw Valley Resort. The building houses ticket portals, a gift shop, restaurant, offices and ski and snowboard rentals.

Actually, the building was designed as part of the olympic village and built in 1959 and used as the Nevada olympic team warming hut. It was leased after the olympics by William L. Tamblyn and was converted to the Squaw Valley Theatre. Part of the building was retained by Squaw Valley resorts and housed a cafeteria kitchen and some offices. The Tamblyns operated it until the mid 1980s when they sold their circuit of 5 north shore area theatres. I was a projectionist, theatre manager and projection and sound technician in the circuit.
