TRUCKEE, Calif. – Skiers and snowboarders can now pre-purchase reduced-rate lift tickets through the Excellence in Education Foundation’s annual Skiing for Schools program, which is celebrating 35 years this season. The fundraiser offers access to discounted lift tickets at various local ski resorts, with proceeds directly supporting educational initiatives in the community.
This milestone event not only provides an opportunity for winter sports enthusiasts to enjoy the slopes at a lower cost but also emphasizes the importance of investing in education.
