TAHOE/TRUCKEE

Local businesses across the Tahoe/Truckee region are stepping up to give teens more ways to spend time together, have fun, and make healthy choices close to home.

Through the new Chill Pass Tahoe-Truckee program, participating businesses and recreation venues offer exclusive discounts to Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD) students, creating more affordable, substance-free activities for teens during their free time. Placer County Public Health helped bring partners together and support the launch of the program.

The Chill Pass is powered by local businesses that want to see young people engaged in positive, community-centered activities. Students show their TTUSD student ID to receive discounts at participating locations, identified with branded stickers.

During the soft-launch of the program, a special teen movie matinee hosted by Tahoe Art Haus and Cinema sold out. The venue will hold another screening of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on Feb. 11 (the next minimum day), click here. 

Additionally, from 12:30 to 3 p.m. on Feb. 11, the Tahoe City Winter Park and Truckee Ice Rink offer discounted $5 tickets and free skate rentals, music, and games. Food at the winter park will be provided by Cafe Zenon. A food truck and youth meal deals from Mountain Lotus Yoga and Cafe will be at the Truckee Ice Rink.

Businesses in the Tahoe/Truckee region who are interested in participating by offering one-time or ongoing discounts can learn more about the program and fill out a form to participate at placer.ca.gov/chillpass.
