Big Snow News: 14 Inches at Vail
Sliding on the Cheap! Boreal Open, $22 tixs, Sugar Bowl Will Open, $25 tixs, Discounts, Swag, More!
Hello Sliders!
Let the festivities begin, dear sliders! Tahoe is open for business.
The early season tickets are running at a deep discount. How about
Boreal with $22.00 and Sugar Bowl planning to open Wednesday,
November 22nd with $25.00 tickets?
What about Northstar, Sierra, Alpine, Squaw, Kirkwood, etc.?
Northstar is planning to open November 22nd, Squaw Valley-17th,
Heavenly-17th and Kirkwood, Alpine Meadows, Sierra-at-Tahoe with
colder temperatures and perhaps a little nudge from Mother Nature.
Heed our warning dear sliders: tickets prices can change at anytime.
Let's repeat, in case you're not reading closely! Call your favorite
resort and check tickets prices, times and terrain before packing
the family truckster for a three hour commute. We're beginning to
list (cheap) ski and stay packages and our own insider hotel/motel
tips. We've got a couple of Thanksgiving deals in the mix and
more on the way.
