Boreal is one of the most affordable options in Tahoe, with all tickets under $100 even during peak season. The resort offers night skiing, which means that cheap ticket will get you 12 full hourson the slopes. Almost three quarters of the mountain is beginner-to-intermediate, so Boreal is a great place for beginners to try a day on skis or a board without investing too much money. One of the resort's most popular programs is Feel Good Fridays, when, on select Fridays each season, lift tickets cost just $25 with $5 of that price going directly to charity.
Lift tickets $69–$94
