Need a room for the Olympics? No need to worry
If you're planning to make a run up to British Columbia for the Olympics next month, you still have a shot at getting a great room. The Fairmont Chateau Whistler tells me that there is still some space available from February 11 to February 28, including coveted space slope side rooms. There's only a minimum stay of three nights, and you won't have to conform to an arrival or departure pattern -- come and go from Whistler as you please. Rooms start at C$899 a night and require prepayment within three days of booking. It's all non-refundable, but c'mon, this is the Olympics! You can't do it on the cheap.If you really want to "do it big," mix it in with private jet travel, and you'll have an unbeatable experience. This is a rare opportunity, so you really don't want to look back on any part of it and wonder if it could have been better, right?

Please note that the Canadian authorities are using even more draconian measures with regards to security theatre. If you are returning to the US or transit in the US, you will not be able to bring so much as a novel to pass the time on your flight, let alone regular carry-ons. Please check with CATSA before flying.
