Amador County – The Kirkwood Mountain Ski Resort announced plans for a low-rate “Locals Day” set for Friday, with a day pass for skiing or boarding for $20.

Kirkwood announced that “Friday April 22nd is Locals Day at Kirkwood because we love our locals.” The deal offers $20 lift tickets for all locals from Lake Tahoe, The Carson Valley, Jackson or any of the surrounding areas. Just bring local IDs and people can purchase a full day, all mountain lift ticket for $20. Those without a driver’s license can show a local school or college ID. A bill with their address on it with a matching photo ID will work too. Kirkwood invited locals to come and “enjoy the tail end of the greatest season in years.”

The Locals Day ticket sales will also benefit the “Bicycle Coalition.” Kirkwood officials said $5 of every lift ticket sold to local residents on Friday will go toward making Lake Tahoe “a more bicycle and foot traffic-friendly region.”

The Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition’s mission is to promote livable and sustainable communities by encouraging more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly facilities and promoting educational programs in which residents and visitors can safely and conveniently ride and walk on a more frequent basis.
