good for anytime, the $65 pass saves you $30. Available at Northwoods Clubhouse,

Where
to Ski: The terrain
at Tahoe Donner XC is awesome. Three sections to ski (Home Range, Euer Valley,
and Sunrise Bowl) make it an adventure every day. From the mellow loops at the
Cross Country Center to the difficult loop at the Badlands, everyone should be
happy. Euer Valley is beautiful - give yourself some time to explore, take a break
at the Cook House, and take the Last Round Up home. You can now ski to the alpine
area at Tahoe Donner Ski Area. Meet for the kids for lunch? For detailed description
of each trail link to Tahoe Donner's trail map page.
