In these days of sky-rocketing lift-ticket prices that are approaching, if not surpassing the $80 mark, it's nice to know you don't always have to lighten your billfold or wallet by that much.

The North Lake Tahoe Marketing Cooperative is seeing to that by once again offering the seven-resort Ski Tahoe North Interchangeable Lift Ticket.

You can purchase unrestricted lift tickets for $62 a day (with two-day minimum). The tickets are good seven days a week with no black-out restrictions and they provide entrée to Alpine Meadows, Diamond Peak, Homewood, Mt. Rose, Northstar, Squaw Valley, and Sugar Bowl (Diamond Peak will accept them on a two-for-one basis).

There are other pricing options as well - three-day passes go for $186, four-day passes go for $248, etc. - and you can use your tickets on any day and place of your choosing. For instance, you can plunk one interchangeable ticket down at Squaw Valley and then turn around and use your second one at Northstar on some other day.

The Ski Tahoe North Interchangeable Lift Tickets, as well as discounted lodging packages in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee area, can be purchased online or by calling (877) 949-3296.
