First Snow of the Season at Heavenly ... look inside

visit SKIHEAVENLY.com
October 5, 2006
Hello, Tim!
It's not even close to Halloween and Heavenly has seen its first snowfall of the season. Snow is predicted for much of the day today, Thursday, October 5th, with more in the forecast for the days to come.

With opening day just 43 days away, it's a good sign that temperatures are dropping and the dry summer weather is giving way to a wet fall. Make sure you're ready to go straight to the lifts on opening day with a new or renewed Heavenly Season Pass. Special pricing is still available for a limited time!

Visit our pass offer page for all the details.

Sliding on the Cheap! Snowing in The Sierra, Complete Show Schedule, Deals, Discounts, Swag!

Hello Sliders!

It's just weeks until the beginning of the 2006/2007 ski and snowboard
season. Do you know where your gear is? More important, what
condition it's in? Now is the time to get those season passes,
begin making those vacation plans and checking gear and clothing
for you and the tribe.

Snow, sleet and rain in Tahoe as we type, with some accumulation
at the 8000 foot level. All signs are pointing to an early ski and
snowboard season with resorts scheduled to open in six or seven
weeks! Snow also at Mammoth!

*2006/2007 HEAVENLY PASSES: Get 'em while they're hot!
Heavenly is seven short weeks away from firing up the West Coast's
largest snowmaking system in preparation for the coming season!
Make sure you're ready to go straight to the lifts on opening day
with a new or renewed Heavenly Season Pass.

*Fight Nasty Spam, not SOTC!
Make sure to check your spam filtering system and allow SOTC into
your mail boxes. Sometimes with aggressive spam blockers, our
(coveted) readers don't see our newsletter, thus, miss out on the
free tickets and swag giveaway. Use AOL? You might find SOTC gets
routed to your spam folder!

BTW: All our (cherished) readers sign-up for SOTC willingly, we
Spam no one! Our lists never leave our hot-waxed stained laptops,
so don't worry, dear sliders-- your sliding address is safe with
us. With that said--sign up your friends, family, coworkers for
SOTC. It's free!

*Slidingonthecheap@*****.com wins a ticket?
"Look Mildred, those bums are giving themselves free tickets!" No,
dear sliders, we're not awarding ourselves a free ticket. Should
we feel the need to slide free, we simply slip ourselves tickets
in plain wrapped brown paper bags, and no one knows the better!
Slidingonthecheap@hotmail, Yahoo, etc. are real addresses by folks
who simply want to track where that address ends up. Since we want
everyone to feel like they can win our swag, we leave these pesky
addresses on the list, and take the grief that comes with it. Be
reassured, that our crew have no need to take tickets away from our
(beloved) readers.

*Ski Lake Tahoe Six-Pack Sold Out!
It's sold out, sliders! If you want one next season, jump on it
