Child and Parent Friendly Programs

Sierra-at-Tahoe® Resort makes a family ski trip easy on the pocketbook with daily children’s value pricing. Children four and younger ski/ride for FREE.  Check the daily tickets page  for daily lift ticket rates for children 5 - 12. 

• Parent Predicament Lift Ticket- Two parents, one lift ticket.  As one parent takes a few runs, the other stays with the child until it is time to trade duties. The parent predicament lift ticket is only a few dollars more than an adult full-day lift ticket.
  
  
• Preferred Parking - Sierra realizes that a family’s workout should take place on the mountain rather than in the parking lot, which is why a portion of the resort’s parking lot is blocked off for preferred parking, streamlining the arrival and departure process for busy families. Early arrival on weekends and holidays is recommended to ensure a prime spot. Preferred parking season passes are available for $149 (limited quantities available). Normally $15 per day, guests break even after just ten visits.  Buy Parking Pass online now >
