This came up in a search for something or another. Basically if you stay 2 nights in Truckee (convenient to Northstar, Squaw, and Alpine. Close-ish to Sugar Bowl, Boreal, Donner Ski Ranch, and Soda Springs) you can get $100 cash from the Truckee Chamber of Commerce.
There’s a few caveats:
- You have to book no less than 48 hours prior to your arrival.
- You have to forward your booking info to lodgingdeal@truckee.com, and tell them how you heard about the deal (http://snowcheap.com!), and whether you heard about the deal before or after you booked.
- If you receive a email confirming you qualify, then after checking-in, you have to swing by the California Welcome Center in Truckee with the all the emails, and your room key/card/proof of check-in. They’ll give you $100 + a goodie bag.
So, where to stay? Welp. It has to be in Truckee proper, which their search engine will helpfully display: https://chamber.truckee.com/list/mc/truckee-lodging-1813-1814-
Personally, I’ve stayed at both the Best Western (literally down the street from Northstar!) and the Inn at Truckee (close to McDonalds, and… other restaurants!)
I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of staying at the Truckee Hotel smack in the middle of downtown, but we’ve never had a chance to do it. Also, the Cedar House looks super-swanky, but uh, have I mentioned that I’m cheap?
