7 nights (Sat-Sat) at the Listel Hotel with round-trip air from Washington to Vancouver (details below) and ground transfers.
Listel Hotel
The Listel is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, right off the Main Village Stroll. Its central location in Whistler Village is just walking distance from the ski lifts and gondolas to Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. It offers the laid-back atmosphere of a boutique hotel.
After enjoying world class slopes, relax in the hot tub and sauna, or grab a bite at the award-winning Bearfoot Bistro located within the hotel. Bearfoot Bistro is also home to the Ketel One Vodka Ice Room, the Champagne Lounge and famous for champagne 'sabering'. So many options for après-ski, meals, craft cocktails and live music. Join us to experience why Whistler is frequently voted as one of the very best winter destinations.
Queen/Queen Room
Our Deluxe rooms have two queen beds (or possibly one King bed upon request; to be confirmed). Amenities include Wi-Fi, mini-refrigerators, and coffee makers.
Single Rooms: Listed price is for double occupancy; add $1,150 for the single supplement if you want a room to yourself.
Lift Tickets: Lift tickets are not included in the trip package, as Vail Resorts is no longer offering competitively priced group lift tickets. Epic Passes, which must be individually purchased (not through the club), provide the best value.
Epic Passes: Participants are encouraged to purchase an Epic Pass product of some type early-on. The following options would cover your skiing for the trip. Prices shown are as of late November 2023, but December 3, 2023 was the last day to buy passes for the 2023-24 season, including the Day Passes:
- A "full" Epic Pass ($1,025)
- Military Epic Pass – Active/Retired ($206); Veteran ($564)
- Epic Day Pass (the non-holiday-rate for an "all resorts" pass) – ($502 for 5 days; $585 for 6 days)
- Epic Local Pass ($795) - allows 10 days total in The Rockies which includes Vail, Beaver Creek and Whistler
You may purchase Epic Passes directly from Vail Resorts, but we suggest that you visit our Epic & Ikon Pass page to explore the promotional offers that may be available from our tour operators.

Membership Requirement: Your club membership must be current when signing up for the trip and throughout the duration of the trip. The trip will be "sanctioned" through the Blue Ridge Ski Council. Current members of other BRSC member ski clubs may register for the trip beginning August 1.
Trip Insurance: Emergency medical, evacuation & repatriation insurance (not cancellation insurance) is included with your trip. This is not cancellation coverage and will not provide any relief if you have to cancel from the trip before it begins, whether for medical or other reasons. You may upgrade the coverage of this Basic Plan to include cancellation insurance by clicking on this link. It will take you to a flyer describing the Basic Plan and the upgrade options available through Myra Altschuler of Travel Protectors LLC:
- The Option 1 cancellation plan provides all the benefits of the Basic Plan, but also covers you for cancelling for a number of basic reasons such as illness, injury or death to you or to your traveling companion/ roommate. You must purchase it within 14 days of putting down your very first dollar towards the trip in order to waive the pre-existing medical condition exclusion.
- The Option 2 "Cancel For Any Reason" (CFAR) plan provides all the benefits of the Option 1 plan, but also covers you for cancelling for any non-standard reason, or if you just don’t want to go, but you must purchase it within 14 days of putting down your very first dollar towards the trip. If you cancel your trip for a non-standard reason, your refund will be limited to 75% of your insured trip cost.
- If you upgrade your coverage with either option through Myra, prior to making your final payment on the trip, we will credit your trip invoice with the $50 cost of the club-provided Basic Plan.
- If you purchase your own travel insurance, which includes emergency medical, evacuation & repatriation coverage, and inform your trip leader prior to making your final payment on the trip, we will credit your trip invoice with the $50 cost of the club-provided Basic Plan. You must present your policy to the trip leader to receive the credit.
