Bad Economy = Good Deals?

I keep hearing about the great deals skiers are going to start seeing, but where are they? We’re booking a ten day trip in Southern Colorado for early next year, and I’m not blown away by bargains…

Apparently, though, Vail is getting hit, and is reacting. Today we read:

• Vail’s 2009 First Quarter financial results, released on Tuesday, show that reservations are down 23% over the same period a year earlier.
• Last week, Vail launched www.VailAllTheLove.com, and direct mail effort aimed at Front Range consumers. The Vail All The Love campaign provides substantial savings on lodging from more than 50 lodging properties, as well as savings on Vail Snowsports School lessons, mountain dining venues, and Adventure Ridge activities.
• And then there’s the Tuesday’s launch of KeystoneTonight.com, a new online property designed to assist local Denver Metro-area skiers in finding last minute deals on lodging, activities, dining and more at Keystone.

Are you finding deals? If so, where?
