Are you one of those people that wait around until the fall to purchase your season pass at the “cheaper rate”?  Or forget to buy now and end up buying in the fall, possibly losing hundreds of dollars?  We hear those stories all the time.  Those in the know, know that spring is the time to buy, because pass prices are the lowest they go.

So, save some bucks by purchasing today.  Passes jump up to the next price point over the summer, and a final sale in the fall, before jumping to full price in November.  Today, your adult season pass is only $269, vs $469 in the fall.  That’s a savings of $200 bucks!

Here’s your reminder that TODAY, Sunday, is the absolute last day to purchase your Mt. Spokane season pass for next year.  Prices right now are the lowest they will be all season.  You can call (509) 238-2220 x204 and talk to Myris or Rachel today, or, since you’re already online, click here to purchase online.

We’ve added even more value to your season pass for 2009/2010.  Besides already being so close to Spokane (just 28 miles from downtown), having the most night skiing, and offering the best family atmosphere, we’ve added bonus days and times to our operating schedule for next season.  Check the previous blog posting for more details!

Thanks in part to all of you here in our online community, and all the feedback we have received up on the mountain, we’ve added multiple bonus days and hours to our operating schedule for next season!  Check it out -

- EXTENDED NIGHT SKIING
You all know that nights are the time to be up at the mountain - great snow, no crowds, and skiing or riding under the lights until late.  It’s so easy to run up after school or work to get your snow fix, grab a burger for dinner & catch a few more runs before heading back home.  Freestylers know that the park is always hoppin at night.

So, we added 8 nights of bonus night skiing for next season!  That’s right, night skiing will extend into March.  March 13th, to be exact.  So every Wed, Thur, Fri, & Saturday night from December 18 thru March 13 (except for Christmas Eve & Christmas) we’ll have the lights on and lifts turning!  48 nights total.

- DAYLIGHT SAVINGS HOURS
After our bonus night skiing schedule ends, we added even more skiable hours!  Now on Fri/Sat/Sun the last two weeks in March you can ski or ride until 6pm, instead of the usual 4pm.  I don’t know how many times I’ve been enjoying a beautiful bluebird day up here and, before you know it, it’s closing time.  Now you’ve got a couple extra hours to enjoy the spring snow.

And if that’s not enough…

- OPEN FOR SPRING BREAK
Yep!  We listened!  We’ll be open for Spring Break 2010, as long as we still have the snow!  Not gonna release any details yet, but we’ve got a bunch of fun activities in store.  Stay tuned for more info on that… and any ideas feel free to throw at us.

There ya go!  Don’t forget the season pass sales ends this Sunday, May 31. Cheapest prices of the season that you won’t be able to get again after May 31.  Made even more valuable by the addition of our BONUS schedule!

Hope you guys dig it.  Comments always welcome!

Bet you didn’t know you could help save lives with Mt. Spokane!  Short of joining our Ski Patrol, you can help in our local community by donating blood.

As a locally-owned non-profit organization, Mt. Spokane is very proud to be involved in the local community, and has once again partnered with the Inland Northwest Blood Center as a summer t-shirt sponsor.

The new summer shirt will be unveiled at INBC Regional Headquarters downtown this Friday, and Mt. Spokane staff will be there to celebrate the occasion by donating blood.  Come on down and support Mt. Spokane and the INBC by giving blood with us!

The annual INBC Blood Donor Awareness Summer T-shirt Campaign runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend, with a goal of reminding donors that the need for blood and platelets
doesn’t take a holiday during the summer months.
