Winter’s around the corner and if you’re thinking of a ski and snowboard vacation, Whistler is providing plenty of reasons to make your plans sooner rather than later.
Book Early and Save packages offer the best value of the 2008/09 winter season which, if it’s anything like the past two extremely snowy seasons, will be marked with major snowfall totals and excellent skiing and snowboarding at Whistler, one of the world’s top mountain resorts and the official Host Mountain Resort for the 2010 Winter Games.
Booking early means great value. You save up to 35 per cent on accommodations and lift tickets, plus kids 12 and under ski and rent free if you book before November 15. Five-night lodging and four-day lift packages start from $448 per person and seven-night lodging and six-day lift packages start from $640 per person. And you can choose the hotel you want in Whistler Village, with its great restaurants, unique shops and boutiques, and activities for the whole family.

About Winter Park Resort:
Winter Park Resort averages 28 feet per year, a distinction that remains unchallenged in its 69 years of history. While close to Denver, Winter Park Resort remains a world away thanks in part to its unique location amidst the Fraser Valley and Continental Divide. Mary Jane Mountain is fiercely admired for its wild bumps, glades, and steep pitches.
