Save on Passes

Now is a good time to buy your passes before the prices go up. Squaw's passes are discounted until October 15, and then prices will go up. Northstar and Mt. Rose are selling at low prices until the 30 of September. Also, save on passes at Sugar Bowl and Boreal until October 31.

Ski Season

So, as you know, ski season is coming up soon. With ski resorts scheduled to start opening in Novemeber, you need to make sure you're prepared. (See earlier posts for information on gear, passes, and events). So get ready to hit the slopes, and find something to keep you sane while you wait for it to snow. :]

YES.

Whoop whoop skiing.

Summer Dining

As summer comes to a close, the sun is setting earlier and the nights are becoming colder. So, don't miss your chance to visit Sugar Bowl ski resort and dine next to picturesque Lake Mary. The dinners will be ending on September 25, so don't miss the opportunity to attend a charming dinner up on Donner Summit

Also, Sugar Bowl is holding Saturday Lake Mary dinners, where it donates a portion of the income to local non-profit organizations. On Saturday the 25, the Sierra Avalanche Center will be the organization of the evening.

Squaw Valley

This weekend at Squaw Valley is the your final chance to go mountain biking and the last weekend of operation for the Summer Cable Car and High Camp. Now that the Summer attractions are starting to close, we're getting more and more excited about this upcoming ski season! Prices for a Squaw pass go up starting October 15th, and the ski hill is scheduled to open on November 20th! So start waxing your skis and get ready to hit the slopes.

Squaw also has some pre-season events that you might want to check out. Including the 9th annual Oktober Fest on October 2nd and the International Snow Science Workshop starting October 17th and continuing until October 22nd.

Alpine Ski Team

So winter is drawing nearing, and we're all becoming excited for the upcoming ski season! As you all know, Truckee High School has an alpine ski team during the winter, and a pretty good one at that. Last year, they were NIAA Nevada State Champions in Division AAAA. We hope that this year will be just as successful. So don't forget to sign up, and keep watch for updates on when the season will begin.

Sun :(

This week's weather is going to be hot and sunny, staying in the low 70's with nights in the high 30's. Not exactly snow weather. But let's hope it starts to get colder as ski season grows nearer.
