EXTENDED PLAY PASS DEAL

TAYLOR RIDGE, IL, February 10, 2006: One of Illinois’ favorite winter Resorts plans to début the "Extended Play" season pass program. Billed as “the most affordable and convenient” way to enjoy visit Snowstar, this special edition pass will be launched during Snowstar’s Snowbound Beach Party Weekend February 11th & 12th.

Ski More for Less

The Extended Play Pass promotion not only offers tremendous savings with unlimited skiing and boarding for the rest of the 2005/06 ski season but also unlimited skiing or snowboarding for the 2006/07 season. Prices start at $140 for adults and will be sold until the end of the season. The pass pays for itself in only four days of skiing or riding.

"Snowstar has smashed the barrier for pricing in offering this type of program," said Ed Meyer, General Manager for Snowstar. "The ‘Extended Play Promotion’ comes in response to guest requests for more value and flexibility. It's all about convenience, value, and simplicity and it has never been easier or more affordable to ski or ride Illinois’ friendliest resort. This new pricing is also a way to mark our 25th Anniversary Season. We couldn’t think of a better way to introduce more people to the place, than this kind of a promotion."

Limited Time and Quantity Offer

It will not take long for skiers and boarders to recognize the Extended Play Pass Promotion as the best value in Illinois and passes are expected to sell out quickly. A limited quantity will be sold and the pass is ONLY available for purchase until the end of the ski season (official date to be announced). To purchase the pass, call 800-383-4002, buy on-line at www.skiSnowstar.com , or visit the Resort. Act now before this offer becomes extinct.
