This program is especially close to our hearts! 100% of lift ticket proceeds go directly to the Tahoe Truckee Excellence in Education Foundation and Arts For The Schools, supporting educational opportunities, arts programs, and experiences for local youth. We love being able to help our customers save money on a day in the mountains while making a meaningful difference in our community.
