Planning on booking a ski holiday this winter? I recently won two $500 Gift Certificates with Canadian Mountain Experience (now owned by Brewster’s Vacations) and I can’t use them… so, I am going to GIVE them away!

The Gift Certificates must be used by February 28, 2009. They are for accommodation and lift ticket packages of 7 days or more for at least 2 adults.  Check HERE for sample packages to top ski destinations like Whistler, Big White, Kicking Horse, Banff, and Jasper.  Also, view a short video on skiing Banff by clicking on “Fun in the Snow” HERE.

Prices are competitive, and they have access to most mountains and resorts.  Call me for a quote on your DREAM SKI VACATION today, and the first two bookings will receive $500 off!!
