Hello Utah Sliders!

--Twas one night before Christmas and all through the ski house, not a creature was stirring, not even the laptop mouse. Every couch, every chair and even the floor, was littered with sliders, too tired to snore...

When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter, the fireplace rocked and the roof seemed to shatter!

She woke with a start and jumped up from the floor; rushed down the stairs and flew open the door. He stood in the snow, wearing (Iridium) Verticals and a grin. Decked out in Spyder from toes to his chin.

"It's Christmas my dear and I'm here without fail. It's SOTC Santa with Sliding on the Cheap deals, sent to you FREE through email!"

Hello Utah Sliders!

It can be tough weeding out deals during the holidays, but that doesn't mean you can't save a pile of cash. In addition to checking out our deals, common sense can play a huge role. Lift ticket prices will always be cheaper at the smaller resorts. If you're a beginner, do you need 5,000 feet of vertical? Purchase your tickets in advance online, or in Salt Lake? Purchase a multiday ticket for savings. Are you in Utah on a ski and stay holiday package deal? You can still save big bucks by buying lunch at the local Safeway, and stashing it in a locker. Need gloves, hats, long underwear? Check the local drug store or Wal-Mart first. Everyone carries winter gear and you'll find gloves at a bargain compared to the resort stores.

Thanks also to Jessica @ www.skiutah.com for some of the great deals we have in the newsletter!

With winter off to an early start and more snow in the forecast, Snowbird presents another year of holiday events for the entire family.

The festivities begin Dec. 21 with eight days of Hanukkah, where guests are invited to candle lighting ceremonies each evening at 5 p.m. in the lobby of the Cliff Lodge through Dec. 28. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be making their way to Snowbird Dec. 22 to pose for pictures between noon and 2 p.m.

The jolly couple will return on Christmas Eve to ski down their favorite Snowbird runs and visit with guests from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Festivities continue later that evening with Snowbird’s annual Christmas Eve Torchlight Parade. Spectators are encouraged to gather on the Plaza Deck to view the parade beginning at 6 p.m. and the fireworks display along with a special appearance from Santa as he rappels out of the Tram. Afterward, guests are welcome to gather in the Snowbird Center to warm up with light refreshments and participate in a brief interfaith sermon with traditional candle lighting and holiday songs.

Snowbird’s holiday events conclude Dec. 31 with a special New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade and fireworks show. Spectators are encouraged to gather on the Plaza Deck by 6 p.m.

Holiday events are free to the public and intended for guests of all ages. For families interested in staying at Snowbird, the resort is offering special on-mountain lodging packages throughout Dec. starting at $99/night.
