The “masterminds” behind the great ticket voucher heist of Heavenly have been granted probation for involvement in selling the fraudulent ski passes last year in court in Minden on Aug. 21.
The thefts took place between October 2015 and March 2016. After an audit, Heavenly showed a total of 1,100 lift ticket vouchers were taken. According to court documents, 971 of the 1,100 vouchers were taken from Douglas County. Heavenly reported that only 23 legitimate vouchers were given out in 2016 but 312 had been redeemed since the start of 2016.
Ticket vouchers are usually only given to skiers when lifts break down. The vouchers in question were being sold on Craigslist under aliases.
