Community Foundation Pass Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation offers this benefit pass every year. $350 gets you 24-days of skiing/riding mid-week, non-holiday. Actually, 10 of those days are cross-country or Granlibakken's one-lift hill. But you get two lift tickets to each of the downhill resorts listed here, and they can be used by two people per day. $350/14 = $25(approx.). So, it's a good way to sample, if you're going to be in Tahoe mid-week.	Alpine Meadows ($56)	$25
