Sierra Avalanche Center Days

The Sierra Avalanche Center is a Truckee Non-Profit Organization that is partnered with the Tahoe National Forest.

Sierra Avalanche Center (SAC) ski days are SAC's largest fundraising events. Each of the participating ski areas have donated a set number of lift tickets to SAC that are only valid on a specific day. SAC is selling these lift tickets at a discounted price. SAC retains the proceeds from each ticket sale. Fundraising from these events makes up the majority of SAC's annual budget.

Please support the Sierra Avalanche Center by participating in a SAC ski day. In addition to a day at the ski area, you will have a chance to meet the Avalanche Forecasters, ask questions, purchase t-shirts, and win raffle prizes ranging from backcountry gear to technical clothing. Formal avalanche clinics are not a part of SAC ski days, but feel free to ask the forecasters as many questions as you wish.

Tickets can usually be purchased from the Sierra Avalanche Center Website sometime in December.

Skiing for Schools 

On selected days, participating Tahoe Ski Resorts are offering skiers and snowboarders special discounted lift tickets and the opportunity to support education. The proceeds from your lift ticket purchase go directly to the Tahoe Truckee Excellence in Education Foundation, a Truckee Non-Profit Organization which provides enhanced educational opportunities for our local students.

For more information and to find out where to purchase tickets, see the Tahoe Truckee Excellence in Education Foundation website or, please call (530) 550-7984.
