Mt. Rose Expands Parking Unveils New $99 Three Day Learning Package

 

What a year! Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe completed 2005/06 w/ over 500ö of snow w/ over 17″ alone in March and April. Excellent conditions and near record visits will again prompt a flurry of projects for the pre 2006/07 season.

 

Pressing onward to meet the ever increasing demand, Mt. Rose – Ski Tahoe plans to increase parking capacity with the addition of over 400 parking spaces to compliment both the Main & Slide Lodge facilities. With 150 spots added to the north end of the Slide lot, congestion should be eased on powder mornings where the 8:30am opening of the Blazing Zephyr 6 in the Slide Bowl often creates a caffeine augmented frenzy of local “freshie” addicts scrambling to score the ideal parking position to get not only first tracks, but to also be able to dart off the hill to make the midmorning office meeting. Parking on the Main side will see improvements to the middle lot expanding it by 50 spaces, plus an additional 180 spots to be gained in w/ an new tier added to the upper lot.

 

Knowing that one day is simply not enough, Mt. Rose has created a three day learning package appropriately titled the “Flight Plan.” Stemming from the already screaming $49 First-timer package, this all inclusive, multi-day product is only $99 and virtually ensures the guest will be well on their way towards achieving intermediate ability skills after three days of on snow experiences. Package includes: lift access (beginner lifts only), rental equipment, and beginning / novice instruction for three consecutive days.

 

Facility improvements should also see the construction of a new Ski Patrol dispatch building centrally located between the unload stations of both 6 pack summit chairlifts providing efficient access to the entire mountain. Even after a huge snow year, Mt. Rose will continue to expand the snowmaking system to cover the upper section of the Silver Dollar run to help achieve early season access to the Slide Bowl. A new pump house will also be constructed to replace an aging structure off the Ponderosa trail. Topping off the million dollar planned expenditures will be a new snowcat, 2 additional mobile snow making machines, and new rental gear.

WILDCAT MOUNTAIN SKI AREA

Two New Season Pass Deals

Pinkham Notch, NH -Wildcat Mountain Ski Area announces the addition of two brand new season passes to its 2006/07 season pass program, including a special season pass for seniors aged 65 and over and a new pass for Kitten Club Nursery regulars, aged 2 months to 5 years old. The program is simple, and according to Jennifer Patry, Wildcat’s Director of Guest Services, “We are hoping to satisfy our customers’ needs based on feedback we have received over the past couple of years. We are listening, and we are happy to be able to offer new season-long opportunities to our customers.”

Tom Caughey, General Manager of Wildcat Mountain is optimistic as well. According to Caughey, 2006/07 season pass sales are better than expected at this time, and the addition of the new season pass products is intended to fill out the existing program and address the needs of the oldest and youngest members of the Wildcat community, “I think both products will be well-received! We’re excited to get the word out!”

Wildcat Mountain Ski Area, approaching its 49th consecutive ski season, is well known as a “skiers’ mountain,” with classic New England terrain and spectacular scenery. And that it is. Steeped in ski history and deep in natural snow, Wildcat embodies traditional ski culture — where the “skier” mentality starts early and stays for life. Season Passes are the easiest, most convenient way for people to make a commitment to skiing, and to reap the reward of fitness and exhilaration, in a beautiful, fun, social environment.

Wildcat’s new 2006/07 passes are available for a limited time at the following prices: Jr./Teen Pass (ages 6-18), $169; Full-Time College Student, $189; Adult Full Pass (ages 19+), $599; Adult 6-Day Pass (valid Sunday through Friday, including holiday weeks; and excluding Saturdays), $425. The new Senior Pass (ages 65+, Midweek, Non-Holiday), is $199; and the new Kitten Club Nursery Pass is $599.

It is always best to secure season passes well in advance of the season’s opening, as the early-bird deals disappear. Wildcat, known for its long skiing & riding season, plans to open November 24th, the day after Thanksgiving, unless early-season snow and weather conditions warrant an earlier opening date. Beginning early next week, by Wednesday September 13, 2006, the new season pass products will be available on-line
