Furlough Fridays at Squaw

In this economy, Squaw Valley strives to make the revitalizing sports of skiing and snowboarding accessible to all by creating targeted deals for a multitude of demographics. For instance, on the heels of last winter’s order from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to furlough salaried and non-union California state employees, Squaw Valley introduced “Furlough Friday” discounted lift tickets for California state workers affected by furloughs. This winter, Squaw Valley is bringing Furlough Fridays back with $49 lift tickets on Fridays* (non-holiday) throughout the resort’s 2009-10 Anniversary season.

Furlough Fridays begin Dec. 11 and continue throughout the winter on specified Fridays, or until budget issues are resolved.

To purchase the special $49 lift ticket, state workers must bring a valid state identification card or a recent (dated within one month) California pay stub and valid photo ID to ticket booth “D” (next to adult SnowSport school), between 8:30 and 11am.

Furlough Fridays are: Dec. 11, Jan. 8, 22, Feb. 5, 19, March 5, 12, 19, April 2, 9, 16.
