Hello Sliders!
With snow on the slopes and more on the way, Northstar and Sierra
have asked me to send out a special invitation to join them over the
holidays for a great family getaway. For us, of course, that means
focusing on how to ski and ride these two terrific Tahoe resorts
with value in mind.
But, hey..do we look like the Grinch? Just for being our
loyal readers, we're giving away Northstar/Sierra
tickets too! Scan down dear sliders and see if Sliding
Santa is about to drop swag in your lap.
*Sierra-at-Tahoe
Located on highway 50, Sierra-at-Tahoe guarantees you a fast
ride from Sacramento and the Bay Area and if you haven't been
there recently, you might be surprised to find 12 lifts
servicing more than 2,200 feet of vertical and 2,000 acres of
ski/ride terrain. Want a local's tip for Sierra? If it's storming,
Sierra has lots of tree-protected terrain and their lifts rarely
are subjected to windhold. Also little known, Sierra, because
of its location on Echo Summit, benefits from higher
than average snowfall during a storm.
*Northstar-at-Tahoe
Located on the northshore of Lake Tahoe, certainly one of the
best family resorts anywhere on the planet. Northstar
hosts 16 lifts serving 73 runs and more than 2,900 vertical feet.
Like to ride? This year, Northstar has 6 terrain parks,
superpipe, halfpipe and 6 Adventure Parks!
These Adventure Park, new this season
are perfect for the smaller rider in your clan.
*Three-Paks Valid this Holiday!
Lift Ticket Three-Paks at Sierra-at-Tahoe. Purchase a Three-Pak
of tickets and ski/ride as low as $39 per day.
The Three-Pak costs $117 and tickets can be used any day
throughout the season, including this holidays!
Three-Day-Passport Program at Northstar!

and rental for only $159.00. This is valid over
the holidays, so if you're teaching someone, or want
to learn, you won't find a better price.
*Cheap Group Rates!
Do you have a holiday group of 20 or more?
Northstar and Sierra offer great group rates,
and know how to guide your herd of slobbering
sliders through the process without you, the leader,
having a stroke in the process.

You got it! Take the Sierra Shuttle, stops at 40 locations
in South Lake Tahoe so you can down that McDonalds
breakfast in creature comfort.

have a club for our raggedy band of cheap ski enthusiasts.
It's called Vertical Plus. The cost is $69 for pass holders
and $89 for non-pass holders.

line, $5.00 off each day you slide,
VP tracks vertical feet and how much you spend! Turn in your
vertical feet anytime for free swag, including gear, food, retail
merchandise and more!

Double Whammy Pass holders Ski Cheap, Even Free!
Skiers and riders can try before they buy by turning in
their lift ticket at the end of the day for a full credit of the
purchase price toward their Double Whammy season pass.

the Sierra-only pass is available starting at just $199.
*Special Double Whammy Holiday Tip!
Purchase a restricted Double Whammy for $309 and even

the ability to purchase all-day holiday tickets for the (cheap)
afternoon rate!

Sierra and Northstar both provide a great ski/ride experience, we
recommend them both over the holidays.
