Miracle March | Groomed Runs and Powder Shots

ltc — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 22:29:12 +0000

That’s right skiers and riders, Miracle March is proving itself once again, making March the time to ski and ride! Resorts are reporting from six inches to over a foot of snow with much more on the way. By the end of the week, some ski resorts could see a total accumulation of over 3 feet of snow! I don’t know about you, but my faith in skiing/riding and the sight of over a foot of fresh white fluffy powder has rejuvenated me to make some turns!

When searching for ski resorts and discounted lift tickets on LiftTickets.com, make sure to pay attention to snowfall and trail report to the right of the calendar. This is a great resource to see ski resort on hill conditions all in one place. Ski resorts update this information daily so we can pass it down to you.

U.S. Skiing’s Biggest Champion Endorses LiftTickets.com

ltc — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:00:09 +0000

Daron Rahlves is the most decorated American male Downhill and Super G skier in history. Also, a recent U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame inductee, he has established himself as a skiing legend for his feats on the mountain. Rahlves’ accomplishments include 28 World Cup podiums, seven U.S. National titles, and a Winter X Games gold medal.

Daron Rahlves shares his trick for getting on the mountain for less.

While living on the mountain is Rahlves’ lifestyle, for most ski and snowboard fans just getting on the slopes can be challenging without breaking the bank. For those fans Rahlves has a great tip…

“Skiing is my biggest passion, but it can be an expensive pastime,” Rahlves explains. “Cost can be a big factor for people, especially when you want to hit the slopes with your family. That’s why I tell my friends to click over to LiftTickets.com.”

With the lowest lift ticket prices available online, Rahlves reminds skiers and snowboarders they can enjoy a day of skiing with the entire family at places like his home mountain, Sugar Bowl Resort in the Lake Tahoe region, for less using LiftTickets.com.

“I know skiing,” he says. “LiftTickets.com knows great deals, it’s that simple.”

LiftTickets.com is the fastest growing online-retailer of exclusive lift ticket and ski resort packages, with more than 35,000 Facebook fans and over 50 resort partners across the U.S. Their number one goal is to give skiers and snowboarders the opportunity to get on the slopes for less.

“Daron is an extremely talented skier, but he’s also a very smart guy with a great business sense,” says LiftTickets.com President and CEO Jim McAlpine. “Our goal is to share the mountain experience with as many people as possible. We are very proud to have someone like Daron Rahlves on the team not only as a brand ambassador, but also as a business partner.”

LiftTickets.com is powered by SnowBomb, the world’s longest running online-retailer of lift tickets with offices in Lake Tahoe and San Francisco, Calif. SnowBomb has been in business since 1997 and was the first company in the world to offer the purchase of online lift tickets.

More Snow | Time to Hit the Slopes

ltc — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 19:07:06 +0000

New snow is falling and hitting some of your favorite ski resorts. From Taos Ski Valley to the ski resorts of beautiful Lake Tahoe, resorts are reporting anywhere from 6 inches up to 2 feet. The long awaited snow has blanketed the slopes and conditions are looking and skiing great! If you’ve been waiting for snow to fall, now is the time to load the car, book a flight and strap on the ski’s or board.

President’s Day plans and vacations are plenty, but visiting your favorite ski resort, or finding that new favorite hidden gem, is what makes a vacation memorable. The stories we share after carving a long groomed run or hitting a chute off-piste filled with powder, welcomes smiles and thrills that keeps us young and coming back for more. Not to mention the epic conditions you can brag about to your friends who just stayed home.

Life is an adventure and doesn’t wait for anyone. We must remove ourselves form the cubicle and venture forward; and at the same time, save a buck or two. When choosing a ski destination for you and your family, make sure to do a little research. Don’t settle for window rate pricing. Discount lift tickets are available and can help make your ski vacation not only memorable, but affordable too.

BADGER PASS SKI AREA TO OPEN THURSDAY, JANUARY 26
Plan a Yosemite snowboarding getaway with fresh snow, great deals and
the Guaranteed-to-Snowboard/Ski package

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif., January 24, 2012 – The 77th winter season at Badger Pass Ski Area begins Thursday, January 26 after recent snow storms dropped more than 24 inches of snow; making now the perfect time for riders and skiers of every level to plan a Northern California snowboarding or ski trip to Yosemite National Park.

Yosemite’s Badger Pass Ski Area has been operating as California’s original ski area for family fun since 1935. With 10 slope runs and five convenient lifts, families can enjoy stress-free skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, all at a fraction of the cost found at other ski resorts. To help celebrate the season, DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite is offering several packages and season pass offers designed to help guests hit the slopes for less.

Deals for Lift Tickets and Season Passes:

Skiers and riders can purchase passes for the 2011-12 season at $129 for adults and $79 for children through the end of the season.
To thank current season pass holders for awaiting the opening of the season, Badger is offering 35 percent off any 2012-13 season pass purchases.
“Two for Tuesday” – Skiers and snowboarders can also enjoy midweek Yosemite skiing with Badger’s new “Two for Tuesdays” deal, which offers two adult lift tickets for the price of one at $42.

“Stay N’ Play” Add-on Package: Guests traveling to Yosemite National Park this winter can take full advantage of the season’s best activities with the Stay N’ Play package. For just $50 per adult and $30 per child, in addition to the room rate, guests can enjoy:

An all-day Badger Pass lift ticket and equipment rental
Group ski or snowboarding lesson
A snow tubing session
A two-hour Valley Floor Tour
An ice skating session

Note: This package is valued at $174 for adults and is valid for mid-week, non-holiday stays at all DNC in-park lodging. Blackout dates may apply.

Guaranteed-to-Snowboard/Ski Package: For those who may be new to winter sports, the Guaranteed-to-Snowboard/Ski package promises to have skiers and boarders riding Badger Pass’ Bruin chairlift and cruising down the mountain on the first day – if not, Badger will offer a voucher to come back and try again. This Yosemite, California snowboarding and ski package includes:

Equipment rental
A beginner lift ticket
A morning and afternoon group lesson

Note: Packages are offered daily at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Guests must be aged 7 or older. Group lessons are scheduled on a first-come first-served basis each morning, so please arrive early.

In addition to these exciting packages, Delaware North operates two shuttle services to and from Badger Pass Ski Area. The first operates within Yosemite National Park and shuttles guests from the park’s lodges to Badger Pass. The second provides snowboarders and skiers staying in Oakhurst with transportation services on select dates to the ski area. For a complete schedule, please visit www.YosemitePark.com. Please note that snow tubing will not be available until Badger receives more snow.
