   “We designed the preseason pricing program so that local skiers and snowboarders could save while taking advantage of the opportunity to experience what’s going to be an exciting season at Ski Vegas. A part of that excitement is easier access to the area,” explains Curt Sheffield, LVSSR’s director of business administration. “We’re currently expanding the Ski Vegas Ski Bus route so access will be much more convenient for Valley residents,” he says, noting that the official route will be announced in the weeks ahead.
