Spring is in the air, and Squaw Valley – traditionally one of the more expensive resorts in the North Lake Tahoe/Truckee region – is making the late-season affordable.

For $179, skiers and boarders get unrestricted access with a spring pass from March 29 until the end of the season, currently projected for May 10. Basically, use the pass three times and it has more than paid for itself.

As a bonus, the pass also includes free use of the pool and spa at High Camp.

For more information, call the resort at (530) 583-6985.
