Tahoe...next year

So long as the entire area doesn't go up in flame by next fall I'll be going to UNR. What resort do other you guys think the best resort in the area is for the Price? Where do most students have passes to? Or is it not even worth getting a season pass next year because of the shitty snow in recent years? Obviously Mt. Rose is the closest and the chutes are solid when the have snow, let me know what you think.
