Sliding on the Cheap! Boreal Blowout Pass Correction, Heavenly 2007 Season Pass On Sale, Use It This Season!

Hello Sliders!

With season passes on sale now, we want to make sure you've got all
the right info, including a correction on the Boreal Blowout Pass
special. Also, we missed the Heavenly pass deal--a bargain at
$319.00, and you can use it for the balance of this season!

*Boreal Pass Valid at Alpine!
The Boreal Blowout Pass purchased now is valid at Alpine after
Boreal closes NEXT season. Because it's an 2006/2007 pass it is
only valid at Alpine the end of the 2006/2007 season. Night
skiing/riding at Boreal closed on April 2nd for the season, we're
sad to say. Boreal and Alpine are owned by the same company, that's
how you get this great partnership. http://www.rideboreal.com

*Slide Boreal for $5.00!
That's right. Present a season pass from any Tahoe area resort and
you can ski or ride for just $5.00 Sunday-Friday, through April
16th. http://www.rideboreal.com

*Heavenly 2006/2007 Season Pass on Sale Now!
How could we miss this? Heavenly's season pass for next season is
on sale for just $319.00. Purchase now and you can use the pass
for the balance of this season! We don't have the space to list
all the benefits of the Heavenly Season Pass, which includes limited
access to Colorado Mountains, discounts and more. With ticket
prices pushing $70.00 a day you can see it's a real value. Valid
7 days a week with just a few select blackout dates. Heavenly is
truly a world class mountain and resort town with something for
every skier/rider. Details: http://www.skiheavenly.com

Fantastic Conditions

Tons of Spring Snow... Over 75 inches on new snow in the past week has pushed Kirkwood’s snowfall total for the season over 750 inches! Conditions are more reminiscent of February than they are April, with several feet of deep soft snow covering all elevations of the mountain. Due to the unusually deep snowpack, 200 to 325 inches, the terrain offers lines and opportunities never seen before.  Check out the snow storage pile across from Chairs 5 and 6; it hasn’t been summitted yet, but we estimate it at about 70 feet!

For the latest snow totals, resort operations and road conditions, visit www.kirkwood.com or call 1-877-KIRKWOOD.


Events and Expeditions

April Events... This weekend is The Best of Kirkwood on the evening of the 8th, benefiting the Kirkwood Ski Education Foundation. It's an evening filled with fabulous cuisine, libations from local wineries and breweries, and a huge silent auction with items such as a trip to the San Juan mountains, a private weekend getaway in wine country complete with an exclusive vintner’s luncheon, and a week’s stay in a private residence in England.

The Sort of Famous Banked Slalom on April 9th is one of the favorite spring events in Tahoe! It's a modified slalom course set in Snowsnake Gully, a natural ravine that offers a unique course that can only be run in Kirkwood.

Don't Miss Kirkwood Jammin' 13... Coming up is the 13th Annual Spring Snow Party Bonanza, Jammin’13, from April 14, 15 and 16. Pond skimming, rail jams, big air comps and loads of fun events for the family make this the premiere spring snow party. All events.


Burton Snowboard Camp

On April 15th, Burton Snowboards is teaming up with The Wood to present an all-level snowboard camp. Beginner to expert ability is welcome; expedition guides teach campers how to find the best snow, seek out the best lines and get the most from their day. Availability is extremely limited, interested parties are encouraged to make reservations in advance. For this camp and all other Kirkwood Expeditions, call Expedition HQ at (209) 258-7360.
