11 reviews for Le Chamois
When your quads are on fire from a great last run down KT-22, it's time for a pitcher and some hot slices.
Chamois has a great outdoor patio perfect for getting your "apres ski" on. Great music, fun people, and all in all, a great way to end a day on the slopes.
Now, the only question is, when can I get back up there?
Fun and solid beer drinking crowd both outdoors and in. Loved seeing the sake being poured outside. Definitely going to hit this place up for lunch next time I visit Squaw. They also offer a unique beer buying system:
The BUDDY PASS - $40 (good for 20 pints of Budweiser)
The BUDDY PITCHER PASS - $75 (good for 10 pitchers of Budweiser)
The PINT PASS - $60 (good for 20 premium draft pints)
The PITCHER PASS - $120 (good for 10 premium draft pitchers)
By far my favorite Apres ski spot, located right at the bottom of Squaw. In fact, even if I am riding over at Alpine, I will jump in the car and go here. Awesome outdoor area where everyone seems to bring their dogs = lots of fun. Sometimes there is also great live music. Can't beat the prices on the pitchers and their pizza is actually ridiculously good. Stop here for a beer after your long day of shreddin th gnar, you wont be disappointed.
Great spot after a long day of snowboarding. I really appreciated the affordable prices as well - unexpected for being a bar at Squaw! I didn't however know of all these pitcher pass deals I'm reading about on here, next time I'll have to buy into one of those!
This place pritty much kicks a lot of ass! When your ready to quit on your day, ski right into the Chamois, grab a large pizza and a pitcher of beer and go hide in a corner. This is the local scene, so just dip an ear into some of the conversations going on and try and take the legendary Tahoe spirit home with you. God forbid your lucky enough to have shared the mountain on an epic powder day with these Locs! I went cross eyed almost permanently one time after eatting 6 slices of pizza and a pitcher of beer all while listening to some of the huckiest stories since first watching Scot Schmidt in his movie Ski Time as he hucked 60-100 foot cliffs with total control. So if your tired and your hungry and your thirsty, just call it a day, and make that call sound something like this, "hello operator, connect me to the Chamois, I need to speak to the doctor"
It may have been the relief of taking off my ridiculously tight and stiff ski boots, the pitchers of cold beer in 60 degree sunshine, the hot pizzas that filled my belly, or the fact that all the winers in our group stayed here and drank beer while the rest of us skied for the afternoon that makes me a huge fan of this place. The pizza was delish, the beer in pitchers, and you can ski up to the outdoor seating.
Bonus: the outdoor picnic benches were great for making friends and getting others' leftover beer and pizza
OK, yes, it's true - most of Le Chamois is outdoors. I don't know how early you have to get to Le Chamois to get a table indoors, but I'm guessing it's pretty early. Our day of skiing had been pretty balmy and there was a good group outside at Le Chamois, so we vetoed our friend's decision to go to Bar One (it was dead!) and go to Le Chamois. At those cold evening temperatures, we only lasted about 45 minutes out there.
The outside bar is quick for getting a beer (they serve pitchers!), though the selection is relatively limited - I think we had the choice of Budweiser or Fat Tire. The food came was quick in coming out - we ordered various snacks but the garlic cheesy bread was the hands-down favorite.
Le Chamois is probably a better location before the sun goes down because once the sun sets, it is pretty cold. But otherwise, it's a good place to hang out since it's right in the center of the Village.
This is the apres ski hangout for the Squaw-share types and other ski bum locals. It's a fun place to hang out after a day on the mountain, and in good weather they fire up the pit outside and serve hot sake. The meatball sandwiches here are awesome and they have a lot of beers on tap. Very sceney, in fact, I think I saw a woman wearing Prada ski gear there once....
Who can beat the Chamois? A great crowd, great pizza...and it is just steps from the Loft Bar.
I love this place. This is where you go at the end of a long day for some pitchers of beer and some slices of pizza. Grab a picnic table outside, sit by the outdoor fire place and shoot the shit about your amazing day on the mountain. Great people watching too.
The best place to get a beer after a day on the hill (or at work)- Good pizza and sandos. Try the meatball or the ham and turkey melt.
