10Best Says

A hip place to eat and be seen, Mamasake in the beautiful Squaw Valley prepares sashimi, sushi (maki and nigiri), Japanese-style tapas, and an array of bowls and plates. Take in extreme skiing movies on the big-screen TV as you nibble on delicacies like the New York bagel roll (smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onions, capers, and tomatoes) and the Surf and Turf, featuring ahi tuna and beef. If raw is not your thing, try spicy coconut noodles, flavored with peanut, cilantro, lime, and sprouts. Green tea ice cream is the perfect combination of bitter and sweet to conclude your meal.
