Hey look -- our Facebook wall:

02/04/2010 Shortly after we sent out our latest Tahoe Newsletter, Mt. Rose told us they were pushing out the Retro Party to February 20th. So save your old-school gear until then!

12/27/2009 We're back from the break with our very own video player, courtesy of Tahoe TV. Check it out to see the latest updates from Tahoe!

12/17/2009 Big props to Jinux for alerting us to this killer deal: Starting January 4, buy 10 gallons of gas at Shell stations, and you can get a "SKI FREE" voucher valid for a buy-one-get-one lift ticket at Northstar and Sierra. It's valid Sun-Fri, non holiday, but we're talking *half off*. That is a great deal -- reminds me of when I started this site about 10 years ago. Wow.

12/3/2009 Oof. Ok, sorry, must still be slow from Thanksgiving. The Ticket Prices page is finally updated (thanks Dodge and Kirkwood for lagging). Here's the round-up of major changes: Dodge Ridge and Alpine, +$5. Squaw +$4 regular, +$5 holidays. Homewood +$3 holidays. Donner Ski Ranch slashed Tue-Thu prices to $22, but bumped Fri-Mon up to $42. (However students/military/police/fire get $22 tickets Mon and Fri.) Everybody else stayed the same or only went up $1-2. At Donner Ski Ranch 6-year olds now ski free (up from 5).

At the other end of the spectrum, it looks like resorts are taking advantage of the "graying" of the slopes: Dodge Ridge, Donner Ski Ranch and Squaw all raised their minimum ages for Senior discounts. (I blame ACL surgery.) Dodge Ridge bumped from 62 to 65. Donner Ski Ranch - 62 to 70! Squaw now *charges* for seniors over 76 (formerly free), but hey, when you hit 85 it's free.

11/23/2009 Tahoe -- winter playground for the rich? It doesn't have to be (recommend you avoid those places mentioned though if you want to save money)! (On the other hand, if anybody can hook us up at Manzanita... *drool*. Scrimp on lift tickets, equipment, lodging to occasionally splurge on dinner.)

11/11/2009 Certain ad campaigns want you to think that there are only 7 resorts in Tahoe. This is wrong. Here's the ones they forgot. Some of them are admittedly small, homey places. But if you want to add some variety to your Tahoe visit/ski season (and see some of the most breathtaking lake views ever), you need to try these places: Diamond Peak and Homewood are the closest resorts to the lakeshore -- you'll feel like you might ski or ride right into the water. Boreal is all about the parks. Soda Springs has a great kids-only area. Donner Ski Ranch and Tahoe Donner are great places to learn. Better still -- these 7 resorts will save you a TONS of money versus the "big resorts" and will add some home-grown variety to your trip/season.

10/1/2009 Wow, what a great roundup of Season Passes. Thanks, Gabby @ Ski Dazzle!

12/1/2008 Woot, slidingonthecheap.com got mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle.
