Buy a Tahoe License Plate and Ski for Free
TAHOE CITY, Calif. and INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – February 06, 2014 – The snow dances have finally paid off, so buckle up and take advantage of the Tahoe Fund’s “Plates for Powder” program. Purchase a new California or Nevada Tahoe license plate before April 1 and receive two free Alpine or Nordic lift tickets.
“It’s a simple way to make Tahoe better,” said Tahoe Fund CEO Amy Berry. “Thanks to our partnership with local resorts, you can hit the new snow and have a positive impact in the Basin.”
The funds raised through the plate sales go directly to the bi-state agencies, California Tahoe Conservancy and Nevada Division of State Lands. The plates support hiking and biking trails such as the Eagle Rock Trail and watershed restoration projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The Tahoe Fund, a non-profit dedicated to improving the Tahoe environment, is organizing the program on behalf of the public agencies.
The 11 resorts participating in the promotion include: Alpine Meadows, Diamond Peak, Heavenly Valley, Homewood, Kirkwood, Northstar California, Royal Gorge Cross Country, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Squaw Valley, Sugar Bowl, and Tahoe Cross Country.
Current Tahoe license plate holders are also eligible for free tickets through the “Plate Spotter” program. Owners of Tahoe plates can post a photo of their Tahoe plate to the Tahoe Fund Facebook page. A winning photo is chosen bi-weekly to receive two free lift tickets from one of the participating resorts.
Information on how to purchase a plate and redeem free tickets is available at www.tahoeplates.com. The promotion is available through April 1. Some restrictions apply; visit the website for more details.
