Skiblog
Two Colorado ski resorts have an offer that gives skiers yet another great reason to hit the slopes.

Here’s the deal: If you book a non-stop flight to Vail/Eagle County Regional Airport, you can ski for free at Vail or Beaver Creek on the day you arrive. You must be staying at a Vail Valley hotel or resort to take advantage of the offer. Just take your hotel confirmation, airline boarding pass and a valid photo ID to the lift ticket window.

Non-stop flights to Vail are available from several major cities including Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Chicago and Cincinnati.

The offer is good through April 13, 2008, and is valid for one free lift ticket per person, with some restrictions. Here’s more info.

Chicago_overview_brandxpictures By Thurston Hatcher

Every Tuesday is CheapTickets’ Day of Deals, where we bring you a few of the very best travel deals available on CheapTickets.

Our first edition focuses on The James Hotel in downtown Chicago.

The best deals I found at this 4-star property:
• Valentine’s weekend: Price dropped from $228/night to $185/night.
• Plus, get free breakfast and free valet parking, valued at more than $40/day.

And with our Big City Getaways sale, you can save another $75 if you book your flight and hotel together and stay for three or more nights. To sweeten the deal further, a number of Chicago museums also are offering free admission in February.

Watch the video to see why this hotel deserves the title "Deal of the Day."
