Lake Tahoe North Shore Wireless Coverage @ Olympic Valley

Well, it seems that the best coverage in the Tahoe Squaw Valley USA ski resort area is TMobile and Sprint, followed by Cingular. Verizon Wireless seems to have the most limited coverage in this area. The same goes for the Northstar resort area. Verizon service was very weak if at all available around the circle to the resort/village area. TMobile and Sprint had strong coverage. Cingular was ok, and showed only GPRS coverage and not EDGE.

In the Squaw Valley area, at the PlumpJack restaurant, Cingular had spotty coverage, Verizon had even spottier coverage, and TMobile and Sprint worked fine. In the Village registration area near the conferencing services, same story. Same was repeated at the Resort @ Squaw Creek.

Note that Cingular HSDPA and Verizon EvDO coverage was not available in this area.
