Sierra at Tahoe Resort Official Blog

Babes, Beers and Sunshine....

This is what comes to mind when I reminisce about the best college spring break parties I've attended. Of course, due to my consumption patterns of my early twenties limited amounts of information can be recalled about such accounts.

School is stressful, it's full of  books, papers, you're working, you're broke, you can't find enough time to drink with your buddies or make time with the object of your affection weather it be your, guy, girl or your skis or snowboard.

Well, Sierra Resort is feeling your pain and has lined up the perfect spring break event to help you decompress and master your best nose press. But we've added some snow and freeslyle action to the mix. We're taking Spring Break to the slopes with College Shred Fest.

The party is happening in West Bowl with Guest DJ Theron mixing up beats, while the bartenders are mixing up drink specials. Ski and ride for just $40 bucks with a valid student ID. Snowboarder Magazine will also be at Sierra hosting the One Hit Wonder contest. There will also be games and snowboard giveaways throughout the day. What's more, Shred Fest Ticket holders get VIP access to Apres Ski Party at Opal Lounge in MontBleu Casino and Spa. So we've replaced the Cancun sand with Sierra snow, but it's still all about a good time.

This event is followed by College Weeks ( March 14-18 & March 21-25) with extended disocunted lift tickets for college studetns. So put away your books, grab your sticks and head to the snow to meet your future ex and wax that.....

board, of course.

P.S. Eating blueberries helps to grow new brain cells, I'm just saying.

Sometimes we can all catch a case of the blues. It's human nature and life throws unexpected stresses at us every now and again. Next time you're feeling a down in the dumps skip the therapist and western remedies and head for the hills. There is an overwhelming healing quality wrapped up in the beauty that covers Sierra Resort.

There is nothing like a crisp blue powder day to lighten your spirits as the snow covered mountains radiate beauty. Its kind of like the way a roller coaster can force a smile now matter what your mood when you got on the ride. The sparkling air and snow covered scenery command a peaceful sensation more soothing than hot baths and chamomile.  If you just take the time to look around on days like these, you'll find yourself surrounded with shiny, heart warming goodness. It's like a big tight hug from your favorite friend.

Now, if you don't take the time to suck in the scenery, heart pumping adrenaline is another way to pop you back into the now. This approach forces a smile like a roller coaster too, but like a roller coaster where you pick and choose your turns, whips, flips and descents. Whooohoooo! If your slate is  only wiped clean for the duration of your run, shooshing down a mountian with snow hitting your cheeks is a sweet escape from the every day.

And let's face it, we can all use an intermittent reprieve from the norm.

Today the mountain is chicken soup for the soul. Try some.
