Whistler BC - Tips on Saving?
 

Hi All,

My husband and I and a few friends will be heading over to go snowboarding in Whistler in mid Jan '08. We'll be using our aeroplan miles for the flight. Does anyone have any tips for us for saving on accomodations/lift tickets? We're on a bit of a tight budget, and Whistler being as expensive as it is, any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not much a Whistler skier but I think I recall lift tickets being cheaper if bought at 7/Eleven in Vancouver rather than buying them in Whistler.

If you are from BC or Washington State you can also consider the Edge card.

What kind of discount does the Edge card give you? I'm in the toronto area, but have relatives in BC, can they buy the card for me?

I think according to the below, its CDN or Washington state...:)

"EDGE Card products are available to Canadian and Washington State residents only. Photo ID & Proof of residency will be required to pick up your card. If you live outside this area, please call our Reservation Agents at Whistler Blackcomb at 1.866.218.9690 to discuss alternative ways to receive discounted lift tickets."

Since this was cross-posted in four forums, please follow the discussion in the Air Canada forum.
