Whistler for less

I was in Whistler this week for work, being hosted by the lovely Four Seasons. To be honest, the only nifty thrifty thing I did there was liberate the L'Occitane amenities in the bathroom.

But, I have been up to Whistler and indulged in my tight-ass ways. I know it's "consistently ranked the number one ski resort in North America" but that doesn't mean that it can't be a really good deal. Especially if you're one of those people who likes to balance on two planks and push yourself down a snowy hill.

They have a deal on at the moment which boils down to 3 night's accommodation and a two day lift pass for $210 CAD per person. You can even go over Christmas for $357 per person.

Another way to save in Whistler is to stay in the village so you don't have to worry about taxis or shuttles when you're getting to the lift or bar. And many of the hotel rooms have their own mini kitchens so making some of your own meals is easy too. Oh, and steal all of the bathroom amenities. That's my tip.
