Yes, I believe by $10 or so, but you do have to commit to skiing 7 times. That is usually not a problem for me, but I just prefer to buy the Costco passes and pay as I go, plus it qualifies for 2% back on purchase.

I like the new restaurant better than the old Glacier Saloon. We had a few meals there on our last stay. No doubt there are limited options in LL, it's not a large place and they have a captive audience. Apart from a dinner one night driving down to Banff Springs, and lunches on the ski hill, we pretty much had all of our meals at the CLL restaurants.
The discount is across all room rates. PM if you want the code just to see the discount between normal rates and Costco rates. Sometimes the hotel asks to see the ski passes and sometimes they don't.

Those certs will post for this year and you will qualify for the next set next year.
Unfortunately we only stay at this Fairmont on pleasure with the heavenly discounted ski rates. The rates in the summer are crazy...
