(as in two for one sliding). Grab a buddy, skip work and enjoy

midweek sliding all day for half price. www.raggedmountainresort.com

“Wall to wall Wednesday” with $25 dollar sliding from 4pm to close!

*Magic Mountain- Touring Tuesdays! Car Pool Wednesdays!
If you’re the type of slider who yearns for old fashioned, no frills,

knock your socks off New England sliding, Magic is your type of mountain!

No, this is not the place where you’ll find sushi on the slopes, nor is it another

one of those mascara mountains, where making a fashion statement is more

important than the sliding.  Magic rocks with old school charm and kick tail trails! 

Earn your turns on Tuesdays with Touring Tuesdays. Bring your skins and tele gear

because you’ll be skiing for free, but you’ll be earning your turns rather than

riding the lifts! You’ll get off the beaten tract and into all of those secret

stashes on Touring Tuesdays. * Snowfall will determine availability.

You’ll need to purchase a lift ticket if you wish to ride the lifts.

Wednesdays gets you and your friends and family on the lifts at Magic.

Located in Massachusett’s Berkshire mountains, Jiminy Peak

offers a great deal to get new sliders on the slopes. Do something nice

for one of your non-sliding friends and take them sliding.

Why not share the fun?  You slide free when you download this

e-coupon and turn a buddy on to skiing or snowboarding

(valid Sunday – Friday,non-holiday). My first time was,

“this is a snow plow, this is the top of the mountain, that is a mogul field…see ya!”

Bad karma to say the least, this deal is the way to go.  

Save some $$ on State days at Jiminy Peak, bring some state ID

and save $8 off a lift ticket! Tuesdays- NY and Pa residents save.

Wednesdays- Mass and NJ residents save, and Thursdays –

CT and VT residents save some cash. www.jiminypeak.com

 

That’s all the sliding deals for this week. If you know of any deals

you’d like to share, let us know of them. Gotta go,  I need to go find a

stick to scrape this stuff off of my shoe.

Northern California sliders.  Why, you ask?  In between monster
Pacific storms that have dumped three and four feet of fresh snow every
couple of weeks, we've got mild temperatures, sunny skies and lots
more daylight.  That means sunny slopes right up until 4:30, and
for night skiers, you're getting a couple hours of sun before
having to put on that parka.

Spring is celebrated in Tahoe, beginning with Snowfest,

kicking off beginning February 29th.  Spring also brings live music
to resorts like Alpine Meadows, when Saturday afternoons become
party central, right on the deck!

Sundays--Kirkwood, kids slide FREE!

*SOTC Reader Challenge!

for our favorite resorts, but we need your help!  Email a GREAT
deal that we don't have listed, and if we PUBLISH it on the SOTC

Sliding on the Cheap! Big Powder Inbound, Season Pass Exchange, Heavenly Group Deal, Northstar Video Contest, More!

Hello Sliders!

 

Winter is back this weekend, with plenty of new snow in the

forecast, so if you missed all that January

powder, you've just earned another chance to blast

through (possibly) waist deep powder.  We've got Mike

Pechner's SnowCast below, and it's looking pretty good

for several feet of snow by the end of the weekend,

then sunny skies for lucky midweek sliders next week.

 

Deals you ask?  Why yes, dear sliders...we couldn't

jam anymore into the newsletter, even if we tried.

How about season pass exchange deals. You've got

a pass, but you need a change of scenery, or perhaps

your pass isn't valid weekends. Many resorts offer

discounts for valid passholders from other resorts!

If you're coming to Tahoe on vacation, it pays to bring

your hometown pass. Check out Diamond Peak for instance,

at just $32.00. 

There are some restrictions, which vary by resort,

make sure to CALL AHEAD and check that your

pass is valid for the discount on the day you want to

ski or ride and your selected ski resort.

 

We've got more...

Northstar has a video contest that could net you a free

season pass, Heavenly will give your group a discount,

and you could snag a free ticket just for setting it up

if the group has 25 or more, Squaw has a great

College Coupon program, Sierra has a FREE shuttle

from southshore, Kirkwood has midweek Stay & Ski Free,

and the Orchard Supply 1/2 price Learn to Ski/Ride Coupon

Sliding on the Cheap! Alert! How About Reno & Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe For An Affordable Holiday!

Hello Sliders!

 

While we hate to giveaway our best secrets, we've been getting

hundreds of requests for (affordable & available ) lodging,

especially for the President's Holiday and Ski Week!

 

*Ski & Stay in Reno/Slide Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe!

 

That's right! Drive right over the summit and down into Reno where

thousands of hotel rooms are within spitting distance of

Lake Tahoe. While President's Holiday is huge around the Lake, 

it's less of an issue in Reno, where you can still find great lodging at

reasonable rates, not to mention the euphoria of bellying up to the

(classic) $5.99 All You Can Eat buffet, after a hard day on the slopes.

 

Once the car is parked your (return) tank of gas is safe, since you can take a

shuttle up and back to Mt. Rose, twice a day. 

Here's a direct link for a bounty of choices:

http://skirose.com/general_information/lodging_packages.php

 

*Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe?

From Tahoe's Highest Base (elevation 8,260'), you're launched nearly

1,800 vertical feet in 3.5 minutes. The reward? Panoramic views of Lake Tahoe

and Nevada. The real payoff begins as you descend into 1,200 acres of

some of the Sierra's best powder. The recent opening of the Chutes puts Rose

in a whole new league. Find out for yourself about Tahoe's best kept secret.

It's the one resort in Tahoe that NEVER feels holiday crowded, since

most of the skiers and riders are Reno locals.  Rose has decided to

include two great deals for the holiday:  Weekend Extender

and Runs and Roses. 

 

Adult Lift tickets are bargained priced:

Adult (18 & up) $62
Senior (60-74) $42
Super Senior (75+) FREE midweek non-holiday*
Teen** (13-17) $42  
Child (6-12) $17
Children 5 & under are FREE
For ages 11 and up.

 

SOTC CREW FAVORITE DEALS!

 

First TimeR Package -  $49.00 ALL INCLUSIVE!
With gentle wide-open slopes served by three dedicated beginner lifts,

Mt. Rose—Ski Tahoe has some of Lake Tahoe’s best beginner terrain.

Combined with our dedicated staff, teaching methods and

“beginner specific” rental equipment – you’ll have a ton of fun and

learn a great new sport all at the same time. First Timer  Lesson Times  
Package Includes:
• All-Day Beginner Lift Ticket (2 lifts only)
• All-Day Rental Equipment (ski or snowboard, equipment may be used all day)
• Lesson (90 minutes)

 

*MT. ROSE-SKI TAHOE DEALS VALID OVER THE HOLIDAY!   

 

Weekend Extender Package Valid Over The Holiday Weekend! 

3 consecutive lift tickets (Fri-Sat-Sun, or Sat-Sun Mon) for $124.  

 

Runs & Roses Family Deal Valid Over The Weekend!

$124 family packages includes full-day lift tickets for two

adults & two children! Available every day.  

 

MIDWEEK DEALS VALID NEXT WEEK! 

Mt. Rose Midweek Deals will all be valid next week, for those

taking the holiday, and making it into a full ski week.

 

2 Fer Tuesdays!

Get two full-day lift tickets for the price of one! Valid that day only.

 

Student $29.00 Wednesdays!

Student day. Present any current student ID (college, high school, etc...)

and receive a full-day lift ticket for $29! **

Ladies Day Thursdays!   

All women receive a full-day lift ticket for $19. 

 

We love Mt. Rose, it's a locals paradise, even if you're coming up from

the Bay Area.  A great choice for President's Holiday and Ski Week!

Hello Sliders!

Yes, it will be an EPIC holiday for skiers and riders this President's

day deal for Cal Neva, Heavenly is extending the season two weeks
and Sugar Bowl gave us advance info on their new "General Admission"
program!

*BTW...
Every deal we are featuring this week (should be) valid over the
holiday and two resorts, Northstar and Sierra, have compiled a
complete list of ways to save that we have (conveniently)
added to the newsletter!

Be dazzled by our Fireworks Display following the Parade, and join us for a "Mexi-Night" dinner in the Hungry Bear Food Court.
