TIME SENSITIVE - One More Ski Trip?!??

You may think I'm insane, but I just came across an incredible airfare offer from which I did a little research and put together a pretty cool skiing opportunity:

Whistler Blackcomb Summer Glacier Skiing & Riding!
We take WestJet from Newark to Vancouver for $199 per person, each way
We either rent a car (if it's cheaper) or take the shuttle ($110 per person, round trip).
We stay in a hotel room in the village at the base of Whistler Blackcomb for 5 nights ($455 per room, divided by two or more people).
We get a 5-day lift ticket to ski on the glacier at Blackcomb ($215 per person).
We drive or shuttle back to Vancouver after our fifth day of skiing and crash one night in a hotel near the airport for our return flight early the next morning.
TOTAL COST: ~$1,000 plus food and drink per person

PLUS, being an Intrawest resort, if you have a Mt Creek season pass or even just a "My Mountain" card, I think you get a discount on the lift tickets. Don't quote me on this, but I think it's 50% off with a season pass or 25% off with a "My Mountain" card.

Oh, and the hotel has an outdoor heated pool and hot tub.

Have I got your attention?

OK, here's the fine print...

  • This price on airfare is only valid if we book it TODAY by midnight!!!
  • Between the airfare restrictions and my own scheduling constraints, the only dates that work for me for this trip are June 18-24. (Yes, there'll still be skiing there, well into July.)
  • Glacier skiing is only open for a few hours each day, from noon to 3PM (which just leaves us more time for drinking, swimming, and hot-tubbing).


I'm ready to book RIGHT NOW - all I need is one male roommate. If you're psyched and want to go, email me back ASAP with your phone number. Girls, if you want to come, too, post a REPLY to this message on the Meetup message board to try to find yourself a roommate.
