Four Seasons auctioning off front-row rooms for Olympics

The Four Seasons Whistler has 6 exclusive rooms and suites at their lovely, Vancouver-adjacent mountain resort up for auction on charitybuzz.com to raise funds for The Birds Nest Foundation.

The Birds Nest Foundation is "a charitable corporation and visual media production company dedicated to supporting philanthropic efforts. Birds Nest provides multimedia services for fund raising and to increase awareness and understanding of non-profit organizations."

If supporting philanthropic efforts isn't enough of a reason for you to bid, how about a complimentary Sea-to-Sky highway permit for getting to the games? The Four Seasons Whistler also happens to be the Official Host Mountain Resort for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, so you're certain to be surrounded by excitement and celebration -- as well as athletes and officials. All alpine, Nordic and sliding events will be held at the resort. It's going to be that awesome.

Need we mention FS Whistler's gas-burning fireplaces, private bars, guest powder rooms, and deep-soaking tubs? There's also a first-rate spa and the Fifty-Two 80 Bistro, which will be hosting Olympic Buffet Dinners from February 12 through 28 for guests to dine together and watch the day's events on large flat-screen televisions.

Bidding for these once-in-a-lifetime mutli-day to week-long experiences starts at $1,000, and the packages are valued at up to $21,600. Some don't even have an opening bid placed, so hurry to charitybuzz and bid!
