$0	Free Ticket on Your Birthday

$23	Community Ski and Ride Pass
SOLD OUT (as of 12/17/2009)!! Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation offers this benefit pass every year. $369 for 2 lift tickets to the 8 of the bigger ski areas and 2 of the smaller ones (valid Mon-Fri, non-holiday, and Sundays too at several resorts). You also get 2 tickets to 4 cross-country areas. It's a great deal if you're spending a week or two and wanted to try out all the resorts that Tahoe has to offer. The pass is fully transferrable, and two people can use the pass per day! So if you and a friend only used it for the bigger downhill resorts, it'd come out to around $22/day per person.

$40	Pre-purchase at Liftopia
Liftopia's lift ticket prices vary based on what day you want to ski/ride (weekdays cheaper, of course). So I've gone through and found the highest price you'll pay, but there were also cheaper days, as well as a lot of blacked out days. Still, it's worth a look if you have your dates locked down. Here's the price ranges: Bear Valley $35-$50; Diamond Peak $39-40; Homewood $39-42; Sierra-at-Tahoe $56-$62. [Multiple Resort Deal]
$40	Snowbomb $9 Off Coupon
Print and bring coupon to get $9 off your next visit to Diamond Peak on an All Day Adult lift ticket. Valid non-holiday only. Holiday periods: 12/19/09-01/03/10 and 02/13/10-02/21/10.
$44	Ski Tahoe Coupon
In the free "Fearn's Ski Tahoe" map/information brochure that you'll find at most ski/board shops and Tahoe hotels (you can see what it looks like at the link) you'll find a coupon inside for $5 off a Diamond Peak weekend lift ticket (non-holiday) and $10 off midweek (also non-holiday). Holiday dates: 12/19-1/3, 2/13-21
$66	Ski Tahoe North Interchangeable Lift Ticket
NOTE: this deal not available to northern CA or western NV residents anymore! :-{. So only non-locals can buy this 3-7 day pack of vouchers that are good at any of the North Lake Tahoe downhill reports. This is an excellent discount anytime for Northstar and Squaw, and during holidays, Sugar Bowl too. However if you use it at Homewood or Diamond Peak, you've paid too much. Also, there are usually cheaper ways to ski cheap at Alpine and Mt. Rose. What's good is that they don't have to be used on consecutive days, and they can be shared! $8 shipping by USPS (allow 1 week) or you can have them hold them for pickup at the Visitors Information Center in Tahoe City for no charge.
