Ski-Economics 101: Vail Lodging/Lift Deal and Sweet Add-Ons Offer Peak Season Savings

Vail, CO, December 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Economic woes don't have to mean foregoing ski vacations or Vail's peak-season powder. The new economics of skiing have snow-hungry skiers searching for value-boosting perks like lift ticket and ski rental discounts, full kitchens for eat-in savings, complimentary fitness club passes and dining deals. Perhaps the best smart-money choice among Vail hotels, the Antlers at Vail (www.antlersvail.com) offers all that and more with its "Value Vail" package. The five-night deal, available January 3 - 30, 2009, starts at $998 per person for four people in a two-bedroom condominium—including four-day lift tickets for all four skiers—for a 25% savings. Antlers Vail guests will also enjoy free passes to Vail Athletic Club, a 20% discount on snowboard and ski rentals at Vail's Performance Sports (http://www.performancesports.net), and a free dessert with a dinner entree at Vail's award-winning Sweet Basil restaurant (http://www.sweetbasil-vail.com).

At the Antlers at Vail, condos ranging from studio suites up to four bedrooms are available with fully-equipped kitchens, fireplaces, outdoor balconies and free Internet access. Every room provides plenty of space to spread out and all the comforts of home, and free parking is provided for all guests in the hotel's heated indoor garage. The Antlers is conveniently located 150 yards from the Vail Gondola and within walking distance of Vail's numerous restaurants, galleries and shops; the free Vail town shuttle stops just footsteps away. The "Value Vail" package and other discounts are subject to availability, and some restrictions apply; for more information, call 1-800-843-8245 or visit www.antlersvail.com.
