Travel Agent - January 5, 2009 - (Page 22) DESTINATIONS CANADA Panorama Mountain Village SKIING 22 | TravelAgent January 5, 2009 For vacationers looking to spend some time on the slopes, Western Canada offers the ideal location. The glacier-clad Canadian Rockies region alone has six top winter resorts, plus most of Canada’s snowcat, helicopter and backcountry skiing operations. Incorporating the Rockies, the Purcells, the Columbia and the Monashee Mountains, this region is blanketed season-long by deep, dry powder. In British Columbia, Panorama Ski Resort (www.panoramaresort.com), which is framed by the Canadian Rockies and the Purcell Mountains, is known for its immense mountain and true slope-side lodging. Panorama also has the best mountainside village in the Canadian Rockies: a pedestrian village with a variety of restaurants and post-ski options, including the giant Panorama Springs Hot Pools. The village is built for walking and has all the trappings of a high-quality destination resort: walk-to-lift accommodations, high-speed quad chairlifts and a relatively easy international gateway airport—Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the principal gateway serving all major carriers and ground The Adara Hotel options (three-hour transportation is Whistler’s only member of Small Luxury Hotels of drive southwest from Calgary). Motorcoach the World transportation from the airport is available upon request, if booked 30 days prior to arrival. To book, call Panorama’s Transportation Coordinator at 250-341-4193. Panorama Mountain Village is currently offering a special two-vacations-for-one deal: Book your clients for at least two nights from February 11 to 22 or March 23 to April 3, and they can receive a free three-night stay at another date. Details can be found at www.panorama resort.com/accommodation/deals_packages/ winter_packages/2_for_1.htm. Travel agents can call 800-663-2929 for more information. Whistler/Blackcomb Another option for skiers headed to British Columbia is Whistler/Blackcomb, in the Coast Mountain Range north of Vancouver. Two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb, rise up a mile out of the valley (5,280 feet) and access more than 7,000 acres of prime mountain terrain—including 12 alpine bowls, three glaciers and more than 200 marked trails. Some of the lengthier trails on Whistler Mountain include the Dave Murray Downhill, one of the world’s premier downhill racecourses; and Franz’s, named WESTERN CANADA Great slopes and accommodations dot the mountains of this region BY MICHAEL BROWNE http://www.panoramaresort.com http://www.panoramaresort.com/accommodation/deals_packages/winter_packages/2_for_1.htm http://www.panoramaresort.com/accommodation/deals_packages/winter_packages/2_for_1.htm http://www.panoramaresort.com/accommodation/deals_packages/winter_packages/2_for_1.htm
