Even though the sun is shining and the temperatures are, well, summery, I've been thinking a lot about the upcoming ski season. I can't wait to gulp the crisp mountain air on a snowy morning, hear the whirring sounds of chairlifts and feel the exhilaration of my first run of the season. My thirst has been partially quenched by watching some of the unbelievable trailers popping up for this year's ski flicks, some of which can be found by visiting our Facebook Fan Page or Twitter.

To help you get excited for the season, we're offering some fantastic early-booking deals. Last week, we introduced you to some great deals to Steamboat. This week, we're taking a look at some other specials, including 3rd night free in Park City, UT, Jackson Hole, WY and Whistler, BC. Prices are as low as $212 per person for three nights of lodging and two days of skiing.

Give us a call at 800-299-0656 and speak with one of our Mountain Vacation Specialists about which early-booking sale is right for you. In the meantime, check out the special deals page of Ski.com, which is updated on a daily basis with some of the best deals in the industry.

Finally, we'd like to say congratulations to Ellin J. of Philadelphia. Ellin used our new Traveler Review function to share her experience in Big Sky. For doing so, Ellin won our contest and received a round-trip flight for two on United for her 2009/2010 ski vacation.

The contest is over, but we still want to hear from you. Go to Ski.com and share your thoughts on your favorite ski destination or lodging accommodation.
