With the end of the ski season coming, skiers and snowboarders can find great deals at resorts. End of GOOSE CREEK ski season makes RESERVOIR for good bargains By Karen Bossick Times-News correspondent

Sun Valley’s loss is your gain. The grand lady of America’s destination ski resorts is limping through the economic slowdown, like all destination ski resorts. Consequently, skiers and snowboarders can get some great bargains through April 12, when Sun Valley plans to hang it up for the 2008-09 ski season. “Now is an especially great time to ski Sun Valley. You’re never going to get a value like this too often,” said Jack Sibbach, the resort’s marketing director.
