Plates for Powder returns: Buy a Tahoe license plate and ski for free
Ski season is nearly here and with it returns the popular “Plates for Powder” program. Residents who purchase a new Lake Tahoe license plate in either Nevada or California can receive free lift tickets to one of eight Tahoe resorts participating in the program.
With snow in the forecast for this weekend, now is the time to buy a Tahoe license plate so you can ski for free in Tahoe.
“It is great to see the ski resorts come together to offer free tickets to help raise funds for important environmental improvement projects,” said Amy Berry, CEO of the Tahoe Fund. “You can ski for free and help make a big difference for Tahoe.”
Plate sales and renewal fees generate proceeds that go directly to the Nevada Division of State Lands and California Tahoe Conservancy to fund hiking and biking trails and watershed restoration projects.
The Nevada Division of State Lands provides land and land use planning services to the state, its agencies and its people. The agency holds title to state lands and interests in land and issues leases, easements, permits and other authorizations for the use of state land. The land office also keeps records of all lands that have ever been owned by the state, and provides land records information upon request.
Established in 1984, the mission of the California Tahoe Conservancy is to lead California’s efforts to restore and enhance the extraordinary natural and recreational resources of the Lake Tahoe Basin.
The Tahoe Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to raising money for environmental improvement projects that support lake clarity, recreation and stewardship in the Tahoe Basin, is organizing the program on behalf of the public agencies.
The resorts participating in the promotion include Diamond Peak, Heavenly Valley, Homewood Mountain Resort, Kirkwood Mountain Resort, Northstar California, Squaw Valley|Alpine Meadows, Tahoe Cross Country, and Tahoe City Winter Sports Park.
Information on how to purchase a plate and redeem free tickets is available at http://www.tahoeplates.org. The promotion is available from now until April 1. Some restrictions apply.
