Kickoff for Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens isn't until 3:30 p.m.

That means skiers and snowboarders have most of the day to get their runs in.

The folks at China Peak are well aware of this, and the Huntington Lake resort unveiled a special promotion with 49ers fans in mind.

If the 49ers exit the Superdome hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, Sunday's lift ticket will also be valid for any Sunday throughout the rest of the season (Feb. 17 excluded.)

In addition, season pass-holders get happy hour prices ($2 off drinks) at all four of China Peak's bars.

China Peak received 6 to 10 inches of snow last weekend, and there is a chance of more snow Sunday. Check skichinapeak.com for the latest.
