        Arizona has some of the best skiing in the country right now. We got over FIVE feet of light, dry, powder at Snowbowl last week. Drop me a message if you need more info on skiing in the desert, we can make some turns.
        Just these, nothing else !

              Tonight I started looking at Tahoe City options and just found a great deal at America's Best Value Inn Tahoe City - $96.22 per night if you use their "Value Club Program" rate plan - free to join at http://www.americasbestvalueinn.com/ValueClub/

              So far this appears to be the lowest per night price for a decent hotel. Anyone ever stayed at this hotel? Anyone have any thoughts on the property and/or the location in relation to all of the ShredFest festivities?

              Edit: Here is the link to the hotel's website - http://www.americasbestvalueinn.com/bestv.cfm?idp=1013
              I stayed at an ABV hotel in Carson City. They are clean and decent, not much else to say about them.

                Say it ain't so. . . Been looking at the forecast leading up to ShredFest and is it true that the resorts aren't expecting any snow between now and then? And warmer temperatures?

                  Unfortunately high pressure has taken hold. It has warmed up considerably in the mountains. There's a possibility of a storm next Thursday into Friday before the fest, but it's too far out to say for sure.

                    Sugar Bowl tix

                    https://inntopia.travel/ecomm/shop/c...594.1453745346

                    The above link will get Saturday Sugar Bowl tickets for $93. Does anyone know of cheaper tickets available or is this likely the best this out-of-towner will come by?


                    Thanks,
                    Shawn

                    P.S. Does anyone know what the forecast is for the weekend?

                      I haven't seen them cheaper than $93 anywhere else. The forecast changes slightly day to day and with each source a person checks. My prediction is warm and mostly sunny for the fest. That's what the weather was this week and looks to continue through the rest of the month.

                        Yes that is probably the best you are going to get

                        There is supposed to be a storm on wed night into thursday am with fresh snow right before shredfest, so the best snow will likely be on Saturday at sugar bowl with like Sempai says good weather for shredfest


                        "The winds pick up Wednesday ahead of a quick hitting storm for Wednesday night. That storm could bring 5-10 inches to lake level and 10-15 inches to the mountains. Then high pressure builds back in with a break in the storms for another week."

                          And is a two day ticket at Squaw Valley / Alpine Meadows for $192 ($96 per day) the best we are going to find for Monday and Tuesday's resorts?

                              I did not see this yesterday when looking at Liftopia, but they now have Alpine Meadows / Squaw Valley tickets at $87 per day:

                              https://www.liftopia.com/product?pro...ate=2016-02-22

                              I'm assuming there is no plan to change the resort schedule and it is safe to purchase our tickets now?

                                I just bought mine online at the resort website. Senior tickets are $87. I pick them up there. That's a good price if it's for non senior. Only if the resort is closed due to winds will the plans change.
