Intrawest Blue Mountain & Westin Trillium House



For our 10th Anniversary, Nicole and I decided (okay, Nicole convinced me) to take two days out of our not-as-busy-as-we-think lifestyle and unwind at the Westin Trillium House at Blue Mountain for two nights.
Within 3 hours of our arrival we were so blown away that we are now talking crazy about coming back here every winter !
It's January here which means it's below freezing and snowy...but perfect for enjoying the Westin's two outdoor pools and two outdoor hottubs. With steam rising from them all the pools are heated to 92F and the hottub to 104F.
Absolutely perfect for tired muscles after a day on the slopes or to make Winter infinitely more tolerable.
Before booking at a Westin, make sure you are a memberof starwood preferred guest points program www.preferredguest.com and also check out www.flyertalk.com to get as much points bang for your buck as possible.
We used our autoclub discount and are rooms are in the $205/night range before tax. I tried to get an upgrade because it's our anniversary 'n all but no luck. Anyway, rooms are nice and have all amenities...wireless internet, dvd player, gas fireplace, wee kitchenette with toaster, microvwave, sink and a surprisingly broad range of dishes/cutlery including wine glasses.
Later gators!
