Looking Forward to a Great Earthday Weekend

What a wonderful weekend for an Earth Day celebration with blue skies and temperatures forecast to be near 70 degrees!

Squaw Valley is hosting the North Lake Tahoe Truckee Earth Day Festival 2009 this weekend. This year’s theme is “Living Local”. The celebration will include live music, an eco-parade, and a number of vendors educating and promoting eco products. This is a great event for the whole family if you are not skiing this Saturday…or even after a great day on the hill.

If you are going to ski this weekend take advantage of a $25 ticket to Squaw Valley on Sunday! Squaw is sponsoring a Skiing for Schools day. Tickets CANNOT be purchased at the resort and must be pre-purchased at Porters Ski Shop (Tahoe City, Truckee, or Incline) or online at http://www.exined.com/.

The ski season is over for some including Alpine Meadows and Northstar. The two resorts will be closed for the season after skiing on Sunday. Northstar is offering a $40 ticket good for both Saturday and Sunday this weekend in celebration of earth day. This ticket can only be purchased online and is obviously a heck of a deal!

Alpine Meadows will host a variety of events for their closing weekend including live music, a snow golf tourney, and the mad cow downhill (a chinese downhill style race). Visit their website for all the event details.
