Birds are cheeping and this is the last week for Tahoe Donner’s winter attractions. The downhill ski area, cross country ski center and Snowplay are open through Sunday, April 17, so come and get it while you can! Here’s a special offer that applies to all three Tahoe Donner amenities. Just “like” Tahoe Donner on its Facebook page, bring in a printed copy of that page and you’ll qualify for a free ticket with the purchase of another ticket. This “buy one, get one free” offer is available for full day general public tickets only and cannot be combined with other promotions. The offer expires at the end of this season. Even after this promotion, you’ll find our page is a great source of photos, videos and information about Tahoe Donner that you won’t find anywhere else.

Don’t forget that Tahoe Donner’s deal for next year’s ski passes expires on May 1. Get next year’s pass at this year’s early rate. Next year’s rates haven’t yet been determined, but they won’t be better than this deal. The first 100 people to respond to this offer will also receive a one year subscription to Tahoe Quarterly magazine. Visit shoptd.tahoedonner.com to purchase yours today!

Hope to see you out on the snow this week. The weather looks great – bring sun screen!
