Alright so im at college in Kingston Ontario where there is no skiing within two and a half hours (sigh) so in order to make sure I dont go into ski withdrawal I want to plan a ski trip to BC with some of the bro's.

Im planning to go during my reading week in febuary. My alternative to quest to shred is to fly down south with a large group of people and get obliterrated on some beach somewhere in the dominican. This trip would cost me roughly $1100 for 7 days all-inclusive at a decent resort.

Now I realize I wont get as good of a deal but i'd like to keep it in that budget range.

Any tips on finding some good deals for a ski and stay package??

Id like a nice mountain with a good mixture of on and off piste skiing aswell as a little bit of park. Id also like a nice bar scene for night time so I can have some drinks and mingle with some cuties.

All tips are welcome!

 
I'd say your first step is to see how much of your budget will get trimmed away by airfare to a few of the major players out west. You may find some places are friendlier to get to than others which may help narrow the decision of which region to head to.
 
You should check out what biggie is offering, I know they have some sort of fly and stay deal just not really sure what it is.

It isn't the biggest resort out west but for a first time trip its got more than you can ski in a week, Kelowna has an airport and its only like 45 minutes away, there is also a mountain shuttle from the airport.

Snowshoe Sam's is a pretty fun bar, definitely some cute girls around the village plus you can make the 45 minute journey to town where there is tons of hot chicks since there is a Uni and college in town.
 
Well, If you are looking for a ski trip for 1100$ good luck, but it's possible. I went to Utah 9 days with 7 days of skiing and it cost me 1275,88$ for everything.

First of all just choose like 3 resort, and try to find the cheapest flight, use kayak.com.

For logging look on home away, you can find some good deal. Try too find some discounted tickets, when I was in SLC I bought all my ticket at a shop ( forgot the name ) and I saved like 70$ at the end of my trip.

Good luck, if you do your ski trip I would suggest you to go to Cancun...
