First time I skied squaw was memorial day weekend 2006, it was fucking epic. I just want all of the slush!!!! Mammoth is a definite option. Just limits my opportunities for other activities. AK Bruin tell me more about fishmas...

Hey AKPM....

Are there any active restraining orders from the last time you sojourned to Cali for some spring skiing?

Feel free to check out the last 20 pages of the Tahoe thread and tell me how shitty it looks. If you think February in Tahoe sucks then you're an even bigger gaper / moron than I thought.

Yes Yes Yes. I didn't think someone from Alaska needed a lift wire. All you need is a guide book and some recommendations about where to eat and maybe a good gear store.

Bringt your BC gear and start looking at shit south of Bridgeport. Land in Reno and go south !!

It might be worth calling a few Tahoe resorts and ask if they take salmon in exchange for some tix.

AKPM - Mammoth has a 2 out of 4 day ticket sale on today -- 50% off:

Funny, around the early '00s they played a little game of pricing for day-skiers. Alpine and Sugar Bowl had $39 day tickets except over Xmas break and the two 3-day weekends. The preferred marketing game has definitely changed since then.

To the OP, for cheap day tix, I'd suggest trying Liftopia for second-tier resorts, except that for late April and early May, those places will be closed. Late April and May is backcountry time in the Sierra, especially this year. Last year, I saw a lot of 2-for-1 promotions around late-season for Squaw.

Damn right. Girl in every port.

AKPM - bring your Alyeska pass with you. Some of the Tahoe resorts used to do spring ticket deals where you got a good discount if you had a pass from any other resort. Haven't seen any announcements yet this year though.

Ingore the bunny. He is about as clueless as one can get when it comes to snow.

Check Craigslists just before you come. I got day e-tickets for Squaw there for about $30 each. Last year Squaw dropped to $49 for people with passes from other resorts once they cut back operations come May. This year cutting back sounds like it might be hard to do.

Thanks! Will do, will also look at Mammoth, I was kinda planning on going that way in June... I like it a lot there. Might even be worth buying a pass, then having an excuse to do vegas/mammoth a few times a year in the shoulder seasons. Believe it or not snow there is more reliable than here...

**TEXASS** · 03-08-2017, 10:23 PM

Bring your touring gear. Lines are fat this season grab it while you can

I don't think it will ever be this filled again

**powdrhound** · 03-09-2017, 01:34 AM

Forget the Epic Pass for Tahoe. Kirkwood is shutting down mid-April. Stupid.

AKPM - Squaw Alpine announced that passholders from other resorts can buy tickets for the remainder of this year for $52/ day.
