Where is the South Shore pass?

With Heavenly buying out N* you can now ride both of those resorts and Sierra this year for only $379.  Buuuut next year it will only be N* and Heavenly... and Sierra will be on its own.  So I am wondering why no one has came up with a South Shore pass ... or even a Lake Tahoe pass?!! I can only image that Heavenly's season pass sales went up dramatically this year... and will drop the next... because Sierra isnt included....  
 I would easily pay $500 to ride at Heavenly, Sierra and Kirkwood!! Someone please make it happen! :)

they used to have a Tahoe pass and who knows maybe something will happen again next year.  The only lame part is that employee dont get to ride all three

Wow, that's lame. Talk about cheeping out by Vail. Not good for employee morale I think.

I'm so glad powder corp lets you ride any of its resorts as an employee.

the fact that the heavenly employee pass is not got there even though the regular heavenly pass is good there sucks for employees.  I am in no way saying Sierra sucks

Yeah... I worked for Vail Resorts' retail division for 5 years... Trust me... we got the short end of the stick more than anyone in VR's chain of employees.

The DISCOUNT we got was to pay 51$ for a ticket at heavenly, and the shop only got 2 passes for the whole year. And those passes were useless during the 40 blackout days per season... and here we were supposed to promote the place, tell everyone it was the best mountain, and wear a "Heavenly" patch on our shoulders...

Kirkwood on the other hand, had no real connection to us, and they gave us all free fucking gold card passes. They didn't work on Saturdays, but it was still only 20 bucks on saturdays/holidays otherwise... no blackouts...

It took until last year for vail to FINALLY give SSV employees full employee passes for the season... and even then I just bought a squaw pass and said to hell with the heave and SSV as a whole...
