Let's get one thing out of the way right off the bat. Have you heard about the snow in Whistler? If not, let's talk about it for just a second. As we told you last week, Whistler opened 12 days early after receiving 45 inches in just over a week. But, let's add some wow factor to that because the snow hasn't stopped. They have received an unbelievable 206 inches this season already and have broken their record for the most snow in November. If that doesn't blow you away, I don't know what will.

Now that we got that out of the way... We have been manning Ski.com booths at various ski expos across the country over the past few weeks and there is one thing we're hearing loud and clear: you want a great deal! Well, by using Ski.com, you can rest assured knowing that we will make sure you receive the best value on your mountain vacation. By calling one of our Mountain Vacation Specialists, you can describe the vacation experience you're interested in and then let us go to work for you. We can take a look at the sales and specials at 100 resorts worldwide and present to you the options that make the most sense for YOUR vacation. Plus, as the largest provider of mountain vacations in North America, we often receive preferred pricing which we always pass on to you.

From all of us at Ski.com, we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family. If you're not planning on getting out on the mountain, we suggest you embrace your tryptophan-induced hangover by making yourself comfortable on your couch in front of the ski movie of your choice while browsing the deals page of Ski.com. And, as always, be thankful that you are lucky enough to have experienced, at one time or another, what it's like to play with gravity on the side of a mountain.
