$22	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.
