one of THE best lift ticket deals in the Tahoe market.  This week,
we've got skinny on corporate lift ticket deals, right here on your
FREE SOTC newsletter.

Sunnyvale - Sunday, 11/9, 11am-3pm

Presidio - Thursday, 11/13, 5-9pm

Walnut Creek - Thursday, 11/20 5-9pm

www.sportsbasement.com

*SOTC Northstar-at-Tahoe/Sierra-at-Tahoe Group Deal!
Bring a group of 20 or more to Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort or
Sierra-at-Tahoe Resorts and save up to 25%!  Northstar Resort
and Sierra Resort offer group discounts on virtually all products
and services provided on site.  Private on mountain parties and
Apres group events are available to create a truly unique mountain
experience.  Contact daygroups@boothcreek.com or 530.550.2616 for
more details.

*Jibassic Pro Invitational! 
Jibassic Pro Invitational on October 25th.  Watch an evening of pro
skiers and snowboarders vying for a chunk of the $6000 cash purse
prize, airline tickets from Southwest Airlines and a chance to wow
the crowd as FUEL TV hands out $100 bills totaling over $2000 for
best trick!  http://www.rideboreal.com/ for the skinny.

This event also marks the date for your last chance to purchase a
discounted 08/09 season pass either at the event or go online to
http://www.rideboreal.com/ After JPI.4 is over the prices will go
up over 20%!  For those interested in working at Boreal there will
be an onsite job fair, stop by and fill out an application between
10 a.m.-2 p.m.

*What Are Corporate Lift Ticket Discounts?
Corporate ticket programs allow organizations, or in most cases, a
group of individuals to purchase blocks of tickets at significant
discount.  While you might be under the illusion that only Bill
Gates can purchase corporate tickets, that, dear sliders, is not
the case.  Depending upon the resort, just about anyone can set up
a corporate lift ticket program, be it for your multi-national
corporation, for your small business or even just a group of
hard-sliding friends.  Great prices, great gifts, employee incentives,
or just "the ticket" to get that teenager to mow the lawn.  We love
them...so will you.

*Why We Like? 
Sure we love corporate ticket discount programs, and not just for
the lift ticket savings.  Most programs offer a free ticket with
purchase of between 25 and 50, once you sign-up you can purchase
additional tickets throughout the season and when the season ends,
the resorts will offer you credit toward next year, or even cash
back.  Want more?  Most, if not all corporate tickets are valid
HOLIDAYS!

 

Note!  Several Resorts have prices listed as TBD.  Contact

the resort direct and see when they plan to post prices. 

*Free Swag For Our Readers!
Do you see your email address below?  If so, send a note to
kwtinto@aol.com to claim your (awesome) prize!  Note: You MUST be
receiving our newsletter to win swag!
