Sliding on the Cheap! How to Purchase (cheap) Corporate Tickets, Sports Basement SnowFest, Polarized Verts, More!
Hello Sliders!
Three weeks until the official beginning of the ski and snowboard
season and the resorts are humming. Our focus is CORPORATE TICKETS,
this week, our annual tradition where I detail out the best corporate
ticket programs for your savings pleasure. These tickets are deeply
discounted, and counter to what you might think are readily available
to just about everyone.
We've got tons of info this week, all distilled down into near
rocket fuel concentration. To find what you're looking for, simply
scan down. Don't forget to see if you've won a NORTHSTAR/SIERRA
lift ticket, or a pair of our (fabulous) Vertical sunglasses in our
weekly drawing below.
"Kev, when are you back in stock on polarized Black ICE Verticals?"
Okay, dear sliders, we're now BACK IN STOCK on polar Black ICE.
We've got snowboard beanies too, plus iridium Verts and all your
favorites. Check the Ebay store for details.
http://stores.ebay.com/slidingonthecheap
*Corporate Tickets? How Do We Score These?
Your name is not Jobs, Gates or Buffet? Your G-V isn't gassed and
ready to fly at a moments notice. BTW, any of our readers have a
G-V? That's a Gulfstream V, corporate jet... (sweeeet)
No matter, dear sliders, just about ANYONE, or group can qualify
to purchase deeply discounted corporate tickets. It's more about
buying tickets in bulk (25-50) upfront.
The perks?
You can purchase tickets up to 30% off the face value. Most corporate
tickets are VALID over the holidays, unlike discount tickets!
If you have tickets remaining at the end of the season, you can
return them for money back at many resorts. Tickets
are direct to lift, no waiting in line with a voucher on a busy
holiday. You're cutting First Tracks!
Tickets must be purchased in lots, generally a minimum of 25-50
tickets, some initial purchases include (bonus) free tickets.
Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe, bless their hearts, won't bill until spring.
While tickets can be ordered throughout the season, you've got to SIGN-UP
for Corporate Ticket Programs during the fall. We love them, so will you!
*SAVE 20% WITH NORTHSTAR RESORT'S CORPORATE TICKET PROGRAM
Place your company's corporate ticket order before November 30,
2007 and lock in the lowest rate possible - only $58 for adult lift
tickets! There are other benefits available such as discounted
lodging and more. Tickets are also valid at their sister resort
on the South Shore, Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort. Visit www.NorthstarAtTahoe.com
or call (530) 550-2610 for details.
*Vertical Sunglasses!
We just got our supply of polarized Black ICE Verticals in stock,
and a ton of new styles as well as the classic Fall Line and Iridium.
We also added our own line of Snowboard Beanies!

*Sports Basement's Annual SnowFest!
