Free Snowbird Tram Rides
for Food Donations

Continuing its tradition of providing free Tram and lift rides while helping Utah’s hungry, Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort announced dates for its annual Customer Appreciation Days. On Nov. 2, 3, 9 and 10, guests may receive a free foot passenger Aerial Tram ride with the donation of a can of food or hygiene item to the Utah Food Bank, or $3 donation to Wasatch Adaptive Sports.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to help needy families, and a beautiful time of year to visit Hidden Peak,” said Dave Fields, Vice President of Resort Operations.

Last year, 7,858 pounds of food was donated to the Utah Food Bank as the result of the annual Customer Appreciation Days. In addition, $4,261 was raised for Wasatch Adaptive Sports.

To take advantage of the offer, guests may bring either a can of food, a hygiene item or $3, to Snowbird on any Saturday or Sunday from Nov. 2 until Nov. 10 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., weather permitting. Please check snowbird.com for updates on the schedule of operations.

Requested hygiene items are toothpaste, soap, baby diapers and wipes. Preferred canned food items are peanut butter, tuna, chili, soup/stew, vegetables, fruit, beans and spaghetti sauce. Acceptable boxed foods are rice, macaroni and cheese, boxed dinners, cake mix and pasta. Special-needs foods, such as low-sugar, low-sodium, are also appreciated.

Offering the longest ski and snowboard season in Utah, Snowbird is scheduled to open for the 2010-11 season Wednesday, Nov. 20, weather permitting.
