Early Season Deals in Whistler

- MICHELLE HOPKINS

The first hint of winter is in the air, and the thoughts of enthusiast­ic skiers and snowboarde­rs naturally drift to B.C.’s ultimate ski resort—Whistler. There is nothing more exciting than the thrill of hitting deep powder on the slopes, except for maybe getting a great deal when you plan an early season getaway. With the help of early season booking offers and the exclusive Whistler Rewards loyalty program, experienci­ng Whistler for less has never been easier. For those eager to start the ski season early, check out whistler.com for great rates on accommodat­ions, especially for midweek stays and during the weeks leading up to the holiday period. Save even more with Stay & Ski packages when you bundle your accommodat­ion with lift tickets. Also, this season Canadian and Washington State residents can take advantage of the two-day Whistler Blackcomb EDGE Card, but you need to act fast because the EDGE Cards are only available for purchase until November 18. And the deals don’t end there. Whistler’s premier celebratio­n of food and drink, Cornucopia, presented by BlueShore Financial, is on now with culinary events running all week and into the weekend. The perfect festival to indulge your palate or simply learn something new, there are tickets still available to enjoy everything from cooking demonstrat­ions to drinks seminars and winery dinners. Be sure to check out the POURED grand tasting on November 17, and, for the best value, take advantage of the POURED ticket and accommodat­ion packages available at whistler.com. Finally, save big all season long when you join the Whistler Rewards loyalty program. Available to B.C. residents, members enjoy new perks and savings each month, and for every fifth night booked, you’ll receive a $50 credit towards your next stay. Members also get exclusive access to special offers on accommodat­ions, activities, events and more, as well as priority access to Whistler-based travel consultant­s. Best of all, the Whistler Rewards program is free to join. So, what are you waiting for? Get a head start on your upcoming winter vacation and take advantage of the best rates available by visiting whistler.com.
