Are you fed up with long weekend lift lines and brutal Sunday traffic when driving home from Tahoe? Then have we got a deal for you! Join our new LocalGetaways Sunday-Monday Ski Club and you’ll never have to wait in lift lines or traffic again. We’ve partnered with the 4-Diamond Resort at Squaw Creek to create an exclusive Sunday-Monday ski package at a price that nobody can beat.
Here’s how it works: On Sunday-Monday stays throughout the ski season—Mar 7-8; Apr 11-12—the Resort at Squaw Creek is offering a very special offer of only $159 ($189 for February date) for a Deluxe Forest View Guestroom—a 45% discount off their standard rate. They’ve also included a Guaranteed Late Checkout of 4pm on Monday so you can ski all day, head back to your room to clean up and pack, and take the traffic-free highway to home.
But wait, it gets better: They’re even including FREE valet parking, so upon arrival on Sunday they’ll park your car and store your luggage so you can head immediately to the resort’s exclusive Squaw Valley ski lift. You’ll be on the mountain in minutes!
