Hello Sliders!
Elvis Day at Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe! January 6th. THERE ARE NO FREE
LIFT TICKETS! Yes, dear sliders, I know that's what I wrote last
week, but it's not correct.
However! Elvis Day at Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe is still one of the best
parties of the season. Come up to Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe and celebrate
the King's 72nd Birthday!
For our new readers, the week after Christmas happens to offer the
best lift ticket and lodging deals of the season. Why you ask?
Because of the natural lull, post holiday. What does that mean
dear slider? We are slammed and jammed with great lift ticket and
lodging deals Are you a college student, active military? We've
got deals for you too. If you don't see it on the newsletter, check
the website at http://www.slidingonthecheap.com
*Prayer Does Work!
Our (overworked & underpaid) meteorologist, Mike Pechner, says to

temperatures for the weekend. Expect this to be one of the best
weekends of the season, sandwiched between Christmas and MLK three-day
weekend.
