*Super Season Pass Deal For Heavenly Sliders at Tent Sale!
 
If you purchase or renew your 2008-09 Heavenly Season Pass
at the tent sale for the low price of $369 ($130 off
the retail price), Heavenly will sweeten the deal by throwing
in a coupon that gets you $25 off gear purchases of $250
or more during the tent sale!
 
If you're not coming to Lake Tahoe over Labor Day, don't fret,
Bay Area AnyMountain stores will be offering the same deal! 
 
So what does $369 get you?
Seven-day-a-week sliding at Lake Tahoe’s top resort as
ranked by SKI and Skiing Magazine readers (nine blackout dates apply)
Lake Tahoe's largest resort (4,800 slide-able acres)
Lake Tahoe's longest vertical drop (3,500 feet)
The highest summit of any Lake Tahoe resort (10,067 feet -
the higher you go, the better the snow!)
 
Consistent and reliable snow surfaces,
provided by the West Coast's largest snowmaking system
and the country's largest fleet of Prinoth 350 grooming machines
Unparalleled views of Lake Tahoe
Incredible tree-skiing!  (so true...) 
Discounts on the only ZipRider cable ride in the Lake Tahoe basin
Then you throw in these benefits:
Unlimited half-price tickets (no blackouts) at Vail Resorts'
other premier resorts, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and
Keystone in Colorado.  
 
*Heavenly Improvements! (Can they make it any better?) 
Check out these resort improvements for 2008/09:
Three new trails! Two new runs in Skiways Glades, and one new
run in Powderbowl Woods. These runs continue the new trend
Heavenly started last year in the Olympic Express area:
Heavenly is glading the trails, leaving tree islands far
enough apart to groom the run with a snow cat. 
 
New Skyline Trail! Skyline is the famous traverse from
California to Nevada. Heavenly is widening it and re-grading it,
allowing snowboarders and beginning skiers to make the
traverse without poling or unstrapping.
 
*Doubling the indoor seating at East Peak Lodge! 
Heavenly is adding roughly 100 indoor seats to East Peak Lodge
by enclosing the upper deck, providing a warm place to eat when
we're not experiencing one of our typical bluebird California days. 
 
*The West Coast’s largest snowmaking system is expanding!
Onto Stagecoach run, allowing the Stagecoach base on the
Nevada side of the mountain to open earlier in the season
with more consistent conditions.
(and we do love to park on the Nevada side...) 
 
*A new magic carpet in the California ski school area!
Making learning to ski or ride that much easier.
 
*Expanding and remodeling the California Lodge rental shop!
To aid speed and efficiency and get guests out on the mountain faster.
 
*Six new snow cats!
Five regular Prinoths and one
Prinoth Bison winch cat. All are equipped with category 3,
carbon-certified, low-emission engines.
 
Heavenly season passes will offer "easy scan" RF technology
that will expedite access to the lifts.
 
Heavenly is ranked among OnTheSnow.com’s top ten “no-car needed”
resorts and therefore an outstanding choice for those who
wish to conserve gas and support the environmental movement.
 
A $369 Heavenly Pass is literally one of the BEST DEAL ON SNOW
for this winter. Visit the Heavenly Tent Sale or any Bay Area
AnyMountain store Labor Day Weekend, call 1-800-HEAVENLY, or
visit www.heavenlypass.com to unlock the savings and
enjoy what is sure to be an epic winter!
 
If you see your email address below, you've won a free ticket to Heavenly!
Send an email within 7 days to kwtinto@aol.com to claim your ticket. 
 
 
 
We hope you find some great gear deals at this year's Labor Day Tent Sales!

Sliding on the Cheap! Alert! Northstar Labor Day Street Sale, Gear up to 70% Off, Double Whammy Season Pass Sale!

Hello Sliders!

If you've been an SOTC subscriber for any length of time, you know that we
think the BEST time and place to purchase ski and snowboard equipment
is Labor Day, at the Tahoe area tent and outdoor sales.
Prices of up to 70% off are common and you're buying from people
who know what they're talking about when it comes to matching gear to
your ability and fit, so it works all season long.

The best on Northshore, in our (humble) opinion, continues
to be the Labor Day Street and Sidewalk Sale at
the Northstar Village. They'll have skis, boots, boards, bindings, clothing
and more up to 70% off.

We've also got the inside scoop on Northstar-at-Tahoe and Sierra-at-Tahoe
season passes. While they've always been know to offer a great deal,
we (especially) like the added benefits:
Ability for restricted passholders to purchase holiday tickets at half
day rates...
Discounts for your non season pass holding friends...
Discounts on lessons, tunes, rentals, and other amenities and services
offered at both Northstar-at-Tahoe and Sierra-at-Tahoe Resorts...
Scan Down For Details, (of course)

to buy tickets online and more information please visit GoTahoeNorth.com.
1 800.824.6348.

If you haven't been to Northstar recently, this is a great opportunity
to stop by. Chances are, you won't recognize the resort it has
undergone so many upgrades and improvements, which is evident
the first time you see the new Northstar Village.
At SOTC, we consider Northstar-at-Tahoe to be simply
one of the best Family Ski & Snowboard resort in the Tahoe basin.
