With small resort charm, challenging terrain, and abundant snowfall, Sierra-at-Tahoe is the perfect place for pure skiing and riding. A 2,212 vertical rise, 2,000 acres of terrain, and 400+ inches of average snowfall of snow give it big mountain cred. Cornices, cliffs, terrain parks, and a halfpipe challenge seasoned snow athletes. Backcountry gates let skiers and riders explore Tahoe’s outer limits. With Ikon Pass access this winter, visiting this Tahoe gem is easier than ever.

Ikon Pass provides access to some of the most widely recognized mountain destinations around the world that so many skiers and riders aspire to visit. We’re stoked to be among them.”

After a two year process, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has completed the installation of a new seating class, Premium Comfort Class. The rollout is the largest product change for the airline in years, with every Boeing 787 and 777 outfitted with the class. It’s an intermediate seating class available on long haul flights, sitting neatly between Economy Class and World Business Class, offering more luxury and comfort than the former, at a lower price than the latter. Premium Comfort Class is designed for both business and leisure travelers.
Installing the Premium Comfort Class was an involved process

To date, 54 aircraft have been equipped with Premium Comfort Class. The maintenance division of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines completed installation on all 787s a year and a half ago. Outfitting aircraft with the new class took about four to 16 days to complete. To make that happen, technicians worked through day and night. Today, all 777 aircraft also have Premium Comfort Class installed.
