Plan and book next winter’s holiday now and save!

To all my previous clients and newsletter subscribers, here is your opportunity to book next winter’s holiday and save hundred’s of dollars doing so. 

Those of you who have traveled to Canada with us before, already know the care and time we take to make sure that your holiday is everything you hoped it would be.

And you know too, that if for any reason your experience turned out below your expectations that you would receive another holiday of equal or greater value, free.

Good Memories are priceless

You also know that "what you pay is what you get"

You understand that great holiday memories; the ones you want to share with friends and loved ones, are priceless.  

You could have spent countless hours researching and organizing your trip; obtaining quotes from dozens of resorts and operators with the hope that you might save yourself a bit of money.  

But deep down, you knew that doing so would still not guarantee you a successful vacation experience. And you knew that you would be better off spending that time with your family, your business, career or some other valuable endeavor.  

Organizing Travel through Western Canada is our Expertise

After all, you haven’t visited all the resorts in Western Canada nor stayed in all of its hotels. You haven’t spent your career investigating the safety and service records of the transfer companies. Nor have you skied all the slopes or tested the day cares of each facility.

Travel to Western Canada is the business of Canadian Mountain Experience and I and my staff have spent over 40 combined years in becoming expert at it. Those of you who have traveled with us know and have benefited from that combined knowledge. 

Because your time is precious and memories of your vacations even more so 

You decided it was more prudent to entrust your hard-earned dollars to someone who is expert and has the knowledge and skill to assist you in creating a treasured holiday experience and memory!

Yet there are many who believe that either they have the expertise or that they can save by organizing their entire trip themselves – many even who are my readers.

To those of you I ask: 

How much is your free time worth?  

What value do you put on your free time, the time over and above your working hours and that necessary to maintain and feed your household? How much of this time do you really have?

I calculate that you likely have no more than 2 hours each day and probably less of true free time, after deducting hours for working, sleeping, commuting, eating and preparing meals and household chores.

That is two precious hours a day to spend with your family, friends and yourself.  

What is the value of those 2 hours - 1 hour even; free of any demands? 

If you earn $100,000/year, and are productive at work 1/3 of your working hours, (most surveys show that this is optimistic) you could reasonably value an hour of your time at $151.51! (if you’d like the calculations, send me an email) 

One hour is worth $151.00...and likely much more!  

The average person, wishing to organize his trip himself could:

research and prepare different resort options, check hotel availability, schedule airport transfers and then book, pay for and confirm all the trip’s components.

Doing so, he would spend a minimum 10 hours of labour.

This does not include time spent visiting the hotels and resorts, at least once and often several times a year as we do. 

When you add it up, this average person just spent $1500 of his time to organize his trip. And the result of his efforts is not guaranteed! 

All this time and effort, to save at most $100 or $200 dollars. With a very real chance of the vacation experience turning out much less memorable that he would have wanted! 

The average person spends $1500 of time to save $100 in money!

But I suspect that you, the reader are not average. You value your time far more than that.  

Which is why you will appreciate the offer I am giving you today. 

Not only will you save the $1500 in time, but you will save hard cash as well.

Announcing: Limited Time Offer to Subscribers

Book your next winter’s ski holiday with us before June 30, 2006 and my team and I will organize your ski holiday at our wholesale price. This is the price that we sell our packages to foreign tour operators and travel agents.

This will mean a saving of $500 - $800 on a typical package of $5000. Money you can use for ski lessons, meals or perhaps a day of cat-skiing for you, if it is you who books the trip!

This offer, however, is only valid for you, a subscriber to our newsletter, prior clients and to your friends and colleagues whom you refer to us. 

There are few other conditions, which I will get to in a moment.

Why the offer?

I am offering this deal for two reasons: 

1. I want to thank those of you who have booked with us in the past and to thank those others for showing an interest in our company and the destinations we serve.
    

2. I want to entice those of you who have thought about coming here but for some reason have not yet done so. This is your chance to book your ski vacation for a busy holiday season, receive a discount and have time to reserve the flights you want, perhaps with surplus air miles.

There are few conditions to this offer: 

Ø      There will be an additional fee of 5% to cover credit card charges. You can, however, save this cost if you choose to wire the funds directly to our account. (this is how we are paid by our wholesale clients)

Ø      The entire amount is due and payable at time of booking.

Our regular and generous cancellation policies will still apply as will our industry-leading satisfaction guarantee.

Don't miss this opportunity for a great ski experience

If you have been a regular reader of our news releases, you will have noted that this past year was one of the best ski years in over two decades.

If you missed this year or if you would like ensure a repeat, I strongly encourage you take me up on this offer. It is already May and I know from experience that if you do not start now to book flights with Air Miles for the holiday periods, your chances of obtaining those seats are severely limited. 

And June will arrive before you know it. 

Here is how you can begin to book your trip and save. 

You can email us at: travel2007@CanadianMountain.com, ensuring that “preferred client offer” is in the subject line. Indicate what resort area you are interested in or if you are not sure, ask us for suggestions. 

Alternatively, you call us directly, toll-free at: 1-888-867-5448. Ask to speak with either Brenda or Johan and be sure to mention that you are a reader of our newsletter.  

I look forward to welcoming you this winter and thank you for being a subscriber. 

Yours sincerely,

Hugh Tafel - founder

P.S. Remember that June 30 is the last day you will be able to safe hugely on next winter’s vacation oh and remember, we will still give you a second holiday free if for any reason you are not satisfied. HT 

P.S.S. The savings are valid for packages for the entire upcoming winter season from November until the end next May. This includes holiday time periods like Christmas & New Year’s, President’s week and Easter! HT

"Having just returned home I had to stop and send you a note. Excellent trip to Calgary, Banff and especially Jasper. A few hiccups but what trip doesn't?..

Our room (in Banff) was awesome...Sawridge room (Jasper) was the best - one of the largest in the hotel - King bed, view of the town. Excellent skiing, warm days and a little (new) snow ...Food in Jasper to die for...Back to Banff...excellent room again.

(then in Calgary) Large room with double jaccuzzi. Just what the sore aching muscles needed after 4 days of skiing, walking etc...Can't wait to do it again...

Thank you sooooo much. We really had a great time - thank you for your great planning and attention to detail."
