Save Some Green And Ski Some White Gold...

St. Patricks Day is upon us and the usual "traditions" of drinking green beer and eating enough corned beef and cabbage to stuff a leprechaun are par for the course. This season, instead of partaking in those activities that only take money out of your wallet, why not do something that will actually put some money back in your wallet. There are tons of deals in ski country that can save you money while you are skiing some of the best powder the west has seen in years.

Jackson Hole has received over two feet of fresh powder in the last couple weeks and over 400 inches of snow so far this season. The runs off the Tram are in great shape with more powder coming soon. The Buy 1 Night, Get 1 Night Free special starting from $398 per person for 4 nights and 3 days is a great place to start your Jackson Hole spring planning.

Whistler Blackcomb got it's share of White Gold earlier this month with 32 inches over a four day period. A great stat released by Whistler Blackcomb was that 1/5 of the snowfall for the season had fallen on Mondays! I guess that means the odds of a sick day at the beginning of the week are pretty good! Check out deal at Chateau Whistler that gives you One Free Night of Lodging and One Free Day of Skiing starting from $726 per person for 5 Nights and 4 days.

Vail was blessed with another 10 inches of snow last week and is offering some great deals as well. Don't miss the Buy 4 Nights and Get 6 Nights starting from $1139 per person for 6 nights and 4 days

Everyone is Irish today, so "Kiss me, I'm Irish" has a whole new meaning!
