South Lake Tahoe, Calif./Nev. – April 30, 2012 – Kirkwood Mountain Resort will remain open for next weekend, May 4-6, 2012, with limited intermediate and advanced terrain only. The resort will operate Chairs #6, Cornice Express, #10, Wagon Wheel, and #11, The Reut, from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. No determination has been made for beyond May 6.

 

“There is still enough snow at Kirkwood to allow us to stay open an additional weekend for our valued guests,” said Casey Blann, Kirkwood general manager. “You can’t beat the gorgeous weather we have had in Tahoe the last two weekends, and the spring skiing for next weekend looks to be just as good, or even better.”

 

Vail Resorts recently announced the best value in 2012-13 season passes, including the new Tahoe Local Pass that provides access to more than 10,000 total skiable acres between Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood, marking the most combined terrain on a single season pass in Tahoe. Priced at $419, Tahoe Local pass holders receive seven-day-per-week access the three best resorts in the Tahoe region for $80 less than last year’s comparable Epic Local Pass.
