Skiers and riders of all ages can purchase a lift ticket for $25. All proceeds raised from the day’s lift ticket sales will be donated to sponsor youth recreation and education, including baseball, soccer, swimming and other youth activities.

Sierra Resort will operate a limited number of lifts from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., including Grandview and Easy Rider. All guests are invited to join John Rice, the resort’s general manager, and the rest of Sierra Resort’s managing team for the official “last run of the season” from the top of Grandview Express beginning at 2 p.m. Last call at the Sierra Pub will be at 2:45 p.m., in time for the ending of all winter operations at 3 p.m.

The Force is strong at Sierra-at-Tahoe for Younglings and Padawans this winter in Yoda’s Riglet Park at Wild Mountain Children’s Center. The Burton Star Wars Experience uses the beloved intergalactic saga to help children ages 3-6 make their first snowboard turns using Burton’s innovative Riglet Reel Technology.

This singular on-mountain experience is filled with visuals from the Star Wars galaxy and combines Burton’s industry-leading technology with Jedi Master Yoda’s teaching methods – movement, navigation and control.

Younglings and Padawans will learn using the ways of the Force through interactive drop in nodes showcasing custom-made wood carvings of R2-D2, C-3P0, Chewbacca and more. Availability is limited and may sell out on a daily basis; reservations are strongly recommended. For more information, call 530-543-3150.
