Here's the scenario. You want to ski in Tahoe, but you don't want to get caught in the awful traffic between Tahoe City and Truckee on Sunday. So you go to Sugar Bowl with these tickets, because they are only good for Sunday through Friday, excluding holidays. Blackout dates are 12/26-1/1/08, 1/19-1/20/08, and 2/16-2/18/08.
