With all of our travel this year we ended up with a free hotel night through Hotels.com. It's a pretty good deal. For every 10 nights you get an additional night free based on the prices you paid. Coupled with free cancellations for most hotels, it's easy to become loyal to one company. We had a credit of about $400 and I think it expires so we decided to head to Whistler for a weekend. It was the in-between season with mountain biking ending and skiing not yet starting so we got a very good deal on a condo. It had two separate bedrooms plus another room with the couch bed and a full kitchen. The place had a hallway it was so big. You could probably sleep 20 during ski season.
We did typical Whistler things including a hike on the trails near the village and dinner. We were out early for a hike on the Sunday and almost ran into a bear. There was a couple walking ahead of us that were probably within 50 feet of it. We were a few hundred feet behind and were headed right to the trail where it ran down. We didn't really feel like being bear wary so we took a turn back towards the village. The weather was nice for the time of year and we avoided traffic in both directions so overall a great weekend.
