Ski for Schools Discounted Lift Tickets

 

Discount Ski and Ride Lift Tickets Benefit Our Local Tahoe-Truckee Schools

You can once again ski or ride at a huge discount when you purchase Skiing for Schools lift tickets.  The proceeds from each lift ticket purchase goes directly to the Excellence in Education Foundation.

Excellence in Education is a private, nonprofit organization that enhances public education within the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District.  Its goal – to strengthen the learning experience for students. Each year the Foundation raises money and provides grants, resources and partnerships to benefit students, teachers and the educational community as a whole.

A number of local resorts participate in this great opportunity for you to ski or ride at a great price while supporting a wonderful cause — our schools. 

This year is a bit different than past years.  Lift tickets will be valid for any one day within specified weeks which allows for a lot more flexibility than in the past years. 

Downhill ski area tickets can be purchased in advance at Porters in Truckee and Tahoe City.  Nordic ski area tickets may be purchased in advance at Paco’s in Truckee and Alpenglow in Tahoe City. 

NOTE: Only a limited number of non-refundable tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis. They are only available in advance — they will not be available at the resorts the day of the event.  Check and cash are the preferred form of payment.

  • Sugar Bowl – $35 lift tickets valid any one day from Dec. 17-23
