this deal was for US $250 for 6 days at different tahoe resorts.
i think they are sold out now but you never know they might go back up for sale.

they have a tahoe card you purchase and it gives you deals on all kinds of stuff here in tahoe, not sure what the value for a short stay would be but check it out and see for yourself.
also some mountains have different deals for different days, such as the 2 fer tuesday at mt. rose. you buy one ticket and the second is free. or ladies day on thursday all girls get a pass for $19. its a fun little place if the snow and visibility is good. especially the chutes.
if your not locked down on tahoe for the whole time maybe check out the heavenly season pass for $350. you get 3 days free at any vail resort so you could ski heavenly for a week and then fly out to denver and hit up vail, breckenridge, and keystone.
as for rentals i have no idea since i never use them but some of the good shops are sports ltd and powder house. that late in the season most stuff will be beat up so you might want to look around at less popular (away from the resort) shops for deals and better gear.
good luck and enjoy the trip. the exchange rate alone has got to be saving you big.

We were there a few years ago and stayed at the Montgomery inn (motel). Daily rate included Heavenly pass and we payed small supplement for places like Kirkwood. It seemed ludicrously cheap at the time, perhaps they've gone bankrupt! They have a website so might be worth a check.

As well as the special offers mentioned above you can also buy reduced tickets from Safeway, Subway and various petrol stations for some mountains. Just ask at your hotel or have a look at the local paper when you get there.
There's also a huge difference in lift pass costs - Squaw and Heavenly are way more expensive than other places, but Alpine is a quieter, cheaper version of Squaw so if you want to save money just go there. Mt Rose, Diamond Peak, Homewood, Sierra, Northstar and Kirkwood are all definitely worth visiting and a fair bit cheaper.
Rentals are easy there's plenty of shops just ask around for the best deal.

shenryo, Feb 25th to March 8th is our peak time and the snow is usually fantastic! (Actually you are just missing our busiest week since many have the week of Presidents Day (feb 18th, 2008) as a "ski" week.) Be aware that the tahoe area is a weekend ski area and that the weekends will be busier - you might need to plan to get up earlier, or to eat lunch either very early or very late!
