Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Sierra-at-Tahoe's annual community fund-raiser known as Snowsports Week runs from Feb. 9-12 and that means the resort is providing deep discounts on all-day adult lift tickets during the four-day period.

How deep? Try $34 off the regular price off the regular non-holiday rack rate of $69.

The $35 Snowsports Week lift tickets, which will not be sold at the mountain, can be purchased at various South Lake Tahoe-area locations, including the 7-Eleven store on Kingsbury Grade, Barton Hospital Foundation, House of Ski, Lira's Market, Long's Drugs at Bijou and at the Y, Lake Tahoe Community College bookstore, Meyers Chevron, Rainbow Mountain, Sports LTD at the Y, and in the Village and Sunrise Ski and Snowboard Rental.

There also are places outside the Tahoe basin where you can pick up the discounted lift tickets, including Fresh Pond Trading Post in Pollock Pines, PLA in Placerville, and STA Travel on the Sacramento State University campus.

Refunds are not available on unused tickets. Tickets can be purchased with cash or check payable to Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation. Credit card purchases can be made online. Refunds will not be available on unused tickets.

All proceeds will go to Barton Hospital Foundation, Lake Tahoe Community College Foundation, Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation, Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care, and Sierra-at-Tahoe Education Foundation.
