For my birthday me and some friends want to ski, but also experience drinking in clubs legally (we'll all be 18). I was thinking maybe stay at a hotel in Quebec near the nightlife, then take a day trip to ski. Or stay at a resort and cab downtown to the clubs? I don't know which is better or what ski resorts are close to 18 & over nightlife in Quebec. ANY info would be helpful! We're staying for either 4 or 5 nights….
my birthday is in january

When is your Birthday? What month?
Thanks!
Montreal is the place and the Laurentians are ski resorts I would use. There are quite a few resorts there but two of my favourites are Mont Ste-Sauveur and Mont Gabriel. I have added a URL with a list of the resorts – there are too many to list and describe here.

Have a great birthday!

Everybody knows the  fact that  skiing vacation can be quite costly. If you never been skiing before but you plan to do so, then it can be quite a challenge for you to find cheap and good ski resort.

The total price may be discouraging enough to cancel your plans on a ski trip with your family or your friends. However you may find  that there are quite a lot of great deals  that can help you go on a skiing holiday without paying too much. Finding ithose deals  Is not so  hard as you may think.

If you would like to find the best deals on your skiing holiday, there are  several methods to do it. The most basic way to  get the best deal is to either early or late booking.  Both of these alternatives may provide you with discounted  ski holiday packages. Why?

The answer is simple. Many ski resorts offer good discounts for clients who want to book early in order to fill the reservations before the season  begins. This way  the resort will secure the client’s base before the season starts. Ski resorts usually  offer best last minute deals for people who book late or who will come near the end of the season. You have to consider the fact that  the resort will do everything they can in order to keep clients coming even when the season ends. So, this is why they offer cut down prices for packages for late bookings.

Online shopping is another great way to get the best deals for a skiing holiday. You just have to to remember that there are quite a lot  of ski resorts that is working nowadays. Because of this, they have to to compete with each other in order to attract guests.  So, they will often offer great holiday packages for their potential customers. Try to ask online  for the prices of the different  packages that the resorts you are interested in offers. This way you will find  which one offers the best deals.

Whenever you plan on taking your friends or  family along, then you will find that there are quite a lot of resorts that offer great deals on  family ski vacation packages. Some of them may offer free ski passes for children, while there are others  that can even offer packages with free ski instructions.

You should  remember that although booking months before the trip may offer you the chance for a sweeter deal on  the vacation packages, you have to keep in mind that it also has its cons. For example, you will not know if there will  be a storm coming which can ruin your ski trip. In most such  cases, you will not be allowed to cancel your reservation and get  your money back.

These are the basic  things that you’ve to know about getting sweet deals on a skiing vacation packages. Always  remember that if you book early or book at the last minute, you will have a great chance of obtaining great deals. The last tip is that  you shouldn’t  book in advance unless you are sure  that you’ll be able to make this trip.

When we think of ski vacations, we think of expensive trips with lots of added items on the side. So, we usually don’t go. But if we could afford it – why not? There are some basic shortcuts we can use in order to have a wonderful time, doing something that is different and fun, without costing a small fortune.

One of the main expenses are clothing, boots, gloves, or skis. What we don’t think about is the ones people have packed away as they either outgrew them, or didn’t ski anymore. These can be family members, or even going to second-hand clothing stores. After all, we don’t have to have brand-new outfits to wear once a year, do we? Thrift shops, garage sales, attics, and so on – look everywhere you can to save money for the trip. The only time this may not work is if the buy is for children – who grow like crazy. If you buy them an outfit, plan on booking a ski vacation soon. Also, remember there are always discounts for children or they can get in free, especially if the family has never went skiing before. Many ski resorts will cater to you then, as they want you to return. Special offers are usually always available for children, so check this out online.

By joining a ski club, as the small cost to join will be offset, with discounts on trips, lower to cost ski lessons, non-ski promotions, and health club markdowns. Try to join a local one, or choose a low-key ski resort with lower prices and more one-on-one for training or working with beginners. This doesn’t mean that these resorts won’t provide you with a fun vacation – it simply means that they aren’t quite as well known as other resorts, and therefore, the prices may be a great deal cheaper. Also look for ski vacation packages that will include your lodging, lift tickets, lessons, rentals, and possibly even some meals from them also.

Because most ski resorts want booking six to eight months in advance, you have time to make some sacrifices if money is a real issue. For instance, instead of eating in an expensive restaurant each night, eat cheaper fast food, or make sandwiches in your room, while putting the money saved into a jar marked for skiing.

Other ideas are to borrow equipment from friends instead of renting it. Or join a group for lessons instead of taking private lessons – splitting the fee. Don’t stay at a lodge, stay at a motel farther away from the slopes if necessary. There are numerous ways that you can cut down on the expense of your ski trip. It is all about the powder after all!

I think it is wrong. The only reason why I want to work for them is because you can ski for free if you do. I have an ethical dilemma, I guess. What do you think?

Why is it wrong?

Holidays are very busy times for ski resorts. If they don't raise prices they become too crowded, which is no fun for anyone skiing.

Think of it another way. The real price is what they charge on holidays and they lower their price for people who want to ski on ordinary days.

Why does a restaurant charge more for dinner than for lunch?
