    Here's What's New at Ski California Resorts for Winter 2019-20

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HERE’S WHAT’S NEW AT SKI CALIFORNIA RESORTS FOR WINTER 2019-20 Resorts invest millions in new chairlifts, lodge renovations, all new food and beverage offerings, signature experiences and much more PETALUMA, Calif. (Oct. 3, 2019) – On the heels of a strong winter season that extended the season of many resorts in California and Nevada—one into late July, Ski California and its 32 member resorts are gearing up for the 2019-20 winter season with significant investments designed to enhance the experience for skiers and riders this season and beyond. This includes a new chairlift, lodge renovations, all new food and beverage offerings, signature on-mountain experiences and events, ways for passionate skiers and riders to save on lift access and much more. “Ski California resorts have continued to invest year over year in facility and on-mountain improvements that enhance the skier experience,” said Michael Reitzell, Ski California president. “This season is no exception, and with the excitement that is already building thanks to early season snowfall, snowmaking firing up at some of our resorts with recent cold temperatures, and plans by at least one of our resorts to open later this month if conditions allow, winter will soon be underway in California and Nevada.” For those who want unrestricted, fully transferable access to all 32 resorts in California and Nevada, the 2019-20 Ski California Gold Pass is on sale now. This pass can be used by anyone with it in their possession and offers zero blackout dates and 50 days of access to each of the 32 ski resorts on the pass.
  • Loyalty Programs Hit the Ski Hills Industry Analysis from Ideaworks

    Loyalty Programs Hit the Ski Hills Industry Analysis from Ideaworks

    Issued: December 3, 2004 Contact: Jay Sorensen For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Powder and Points – Loyalty Programs Hit the Ski Hills Industry Analysis from IdeaWorks The ski industry embraces airline-style frequent customer programs at 11 of the 20 largest U.S. ski areas. Frequent-skier programs offered by major ski areas are far more generous and consumer friendly than their airline industry counterparts: • Squaw Valley offers a free lift ticket for every four purchased - - an amazing return of 25%. • The PEAK Rewards program associated with Breckenridge Ski Resort allows up to 8 family members to pool their points into one account. • PEAK Rewards also allows the exchange of points and airline miles with Frontier’s EarlyReturns frequent flier program. • The Vertical Plus program offered by the Northstar-at-Tahoe ski area is most unusual because its members accrue benefits based upon the vertical feet on ski runs taken by its members. Each program has its unique qualities – - yet they are very similar on the issue of reward restrictions. Leaving the inventory restrictions and black-out dates of the airline industry behind, these frequent skier programs allow members to redeem rewards for free lift tickets on the busiest of holiday weekends. Where the programs seem to lag their airline-industry counterparts is in areas involving bonus partners, co-branded credit cards, elite customer recognition and year-round participation. Frequent-Skier Programs at the 20 Largest U.S. Ski Areas IdeaWorks reviewed the frequent-skier programs associated with the 20 largest U.S. ski areas as determined by “2003 season skier visits” data compiled by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA).

    Winter Sports Program Review

    Winter Sports Program Review USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region & California Ski Industry Association September 19, 2007 USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region and California Ski Industry Association 2007 Winter Sports Program Review Executive Summary With resorts having averaged 7.3 million visits per winter over the last decade, ski areas offer the single most popular primary activity for which people visit the National Forests in California. For many, winter sports provide their initial introduction to the National Forests and an opportunity to build appreciation for California’s unique environment. As partners, the Forest Service and ski industry share responsibility for the stewardship of our forest resources and we look forward to continuing to build a relationship based on cooperation, collaboration and mutual benefit in achieving our goals. In an effort to cultivate this partnership, Regional Forester Bernie Weingardt requested that Region 5 (R5) and the California Ski Industry Association (CSIA) conduct a joint programmatic review of the region’s winter sports program. The purpose of the review was to spotlight innovations, create plans for action, provide quality visitor experiences and settings, and spark new energy in the partnership. An interdisciplinary review team of Forest Service and industry personnel was established in October 2006. The team developed a thorough list of questions to analyze the current winter sports program. To gain first hand information, the team met with forest and ski industry personnel at ski areas that represented a cross-section of the region, varying in geographic location and size of operation. Three field reviews were conducted and included visits to the Stanislaus NF, San Bernardino NF, Angeles NF, Eldorado NF and the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
