But I think that year we went Bear was charging mountain prices. Cause once the expo happened, they put the price up which was the 3rd increase. So they give you the 2nd price increase. Instead of the cheap April prices.

 

time to hike after next week and hit some fresh how lol

 

told ya matt! but im now leaning on this squaw/alpine action!! been wanting to do squaw for years, havent been back since my very first snowboard sesh when i was 13 back in 1995 on a burton flat tail rental and i got a damn concussion and vowed to never go again!....and i now have over 150 rides in last 6 seasons!! haha

 

She told me they did a deal that they were selling it at the summer rate at the show even though it had kicked in to full price. So it was a $60 discount essentially. This year they don't plan on doing that if they go at all. So I picked it up at the summer rate which is a LOT more than the spring rate. No way I'm missing the spring rate next year.

They really need to implement a discount for current pass holders. For new holders you buy a pass in the spring and you finish out the year. It's not hard to actually pay it off before spring is over. You essentially right the next year for free. Then you have to pay for another one in spring or you miss out. So you are technically holding 2 passes at once.

I think if you're a season pass holder that spring rate should be extended in to the summer.

 

Hey, fellow shreadheads & powderhounds!

Just dropping a last-minute reminder on another discount deadline...
TODAY is the last day for the 1/2 off coupon code on tix to next month's TWO SnowBomb Ski & SnowBEERd Festivals.

To purchase tix for the SF SnowFest, click this link... http://snowbombsf-eorg.eventbrite.com/

To purchase tix for the Santa Clara SnowFest, click this link... http://snowbombsv-eorg.eventbrite.com/

Be sure to click "Enter Discount Code" above the 'Order Now' button first. Then type in "SnowBomb" & click 'Apply Discount' to get your admission ticket & beer-tasting for ONLY $20!!!

Finally, a PSA on safe motoring...
Be careful on the roads early next week as it will be the 1st significant rain of the season. All that several months' worth of oil on the roadways will be coming up making for some slick conditions!

 

yay for slick roads and newly aquired stage2! but ya what he said

 

problem is my place is in south lake so SV and alpine is a long lame drive and lots of extra driving when I could go to heavenly or sierra only 10 min away from my place lol

 

Would it be cheaper or better to just get the snowbomb ticket and the free entry for $70?

 

While the Tahoe Card does come w/ the SnowFest ticket, it is for ONLY general admittance. Assuming they'll stick w/ the same day-of pricing deal as the last couple years, you'll need to pay for the $20 beer-tasting upgrade.

That said, I actually got both... the Tahoe card for $60 as well as the FULL SnowFest ticket for $20 (which is 50% off). I'll be going to the Fort Mason one w/ my homies to get my drink on, then I'll use the Tahoe Card freebie the following wknd in Sta Clara when I bring my 18-yr-old nephew.

I think paying the $20 now (if the discount code is still in effect) is better b/c you'll get twice as many of the SnowFest comps. Remember, entrance tix (whether full or gen. adm.) get you those lift ticket vouchers.

 

Just ordered my ticket for the Santa Clara SnowFest w/ beer tasting upgrade. Apparently the discount code is still working as of now.

 

i lost my SLT hookup and Heavenly wouldnt do it for me if i had a spot across the street at 4 seasons! LOL...and i heard that they actually literally connected Alpine to Squaw with the chairlift that has been just posts for years?? havent confirmed this yet but that makes squaw like double the size of anything else up there and i would still do my Reno overnight stays...im pretty much locked in on this! whos with me?!

 

Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.

Not sure where ya got that info but the land btwn the 2 resorts is privately owned. The guy's name escapes me, but whoever it is who has the deed to that ~400 acres is about to GET PAID!

 

Never been to Alpine or Squaw. I was gonna get the Heavenly/Northstar season pass, but now that the Alpine/Squaw pass is available I'm not sure what to do. Decisions, Decisions.

 

had a feeling my buddy was talking out of his ***...but either way im down with it, it will be nice to explore a mt thats new to me...good lookin on the info and yes that guy holds a freakin pot o gold!

 

Should be getting about 14inches over 8000ft tonight!
