Last night, Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows received a dusting of snow for the third time this fall. While it may not have been enough white stuff to write home about, the occasion certainly was worthy of an e-release sent out by the resorts’ media relations department.

It also provided the PR staff the opportunity to remind everyone that the Tahoe Super Pass – which offers access to the slopes at both resorts – is on sale through Sunday. Prices are $499 for a Bronze pass, $559 for a Silver, and $789 for an unlimited Gold pass. Those prices will increase starting Monday. Information: www.tahoesuperpass.com
