JACKSON HOLE, Wyo., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- As the 2002 Winter Olympic
Games approach and snow conditions reach highs, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
and The Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber of Commerce are offering unbeatable ski and
lodging deals to lure Olympic visitors.
"These deals are perfect for people who want to escape the Olympic frenzy
and get a taste for the west beyond the borders of Utah," said Anna Olson,
communications director at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. "You can find
outstanding deals that include roundtrip airfare, lodging and lift tickets at
both Jackson Hole and Sun Valley right now."
From Chicago or Dallas/Ft. Worth to Jackson Hole, a package including four
nights lodging, three days lifts and roundtrip airfare at $499 per person
double occupancy is available immediately through Mar. 26 and also from
Mar. 31 through Apr. 7, 2002.
Longer stays are available from the northeastern and southeastern regions
of the U.S. Flights to Jackson Hole originate from Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Washington D.C.
A ground package is also available for one night's lodging and one lift
ticket for $69 from now until the end of the season.
If you are traveling to Sun Valley, skiers can book a package that
includes five nights lodging, four of five days skiing and round trip airfare
per person for $583 from Seattle between Mar. 23rd and Apr. 7. This same
package is available from three other departure points for varying prices:
Salt Lake City costs merely $622, participating cities in the Midwest cost
$725, and this package from Newark goes for $793.
"These packages coincide with our best snow conditions in years," said
Carol Waller, executive director at the Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber of
Commerce. "Snowfall at both resorts is above average making powder days
abundant and skiers happy."
Travel distance from Salt Lake City is about the same for both resorts,
with one-hour flights available.
"Sun Valley and Jackson Hole are both ideal destinations for travelers
coming out of Salt Lake City," said Olson.
Sun Valley, the first destination ski resort in the country, located in
the central Rockies in Idaho, provides a playground for recreationalists
looking for on and off slope adventures. For more information, visit
