For immediate release - April 2, 2013
Visit Whistler in April and have your après on us – no joke!
Suggested tweet: No place on earth does #après like #Whistler. Visit http://tourismwhistlermedia.cmail2.com/t/r-i-ojtdrjl-l-y/ to book your April accommodation package including après vouchers.
Whistler, B.C. – Après – the Whistler way – is like no other and we want you to experience it this spring – on us.
Celebrating an epic day on or off the slopes, come late afternoon in Whistler, the ultimate place to park yourself is on one of the many resort patios – drinking it all in and basking in the sunlight, in the company of good friends with beverages and appies flowing. At the end of the day, ski boots are optional but you might need them later if you plan on dancing.
Après is ingrained in the local vernacular. If you don’t know après, you don’t know Whistler. And Whistler’s pedestrian-friendly village and surrounding areas make for the optimal après pub crawl.
For a first-hand look at Whistler’s après scene, check out the Whistler Insider exclusive video and blog.
Don’t miss out on the window of opportunity – from 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, April 3 until on 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 4,http://tourismwhistlermedia.cmail2.com/t/r-i-ojtdrjl-l-d/ is offering a 48-hour sale with savings on accommodation and a $20 food and beverage après voucher – on us – per booking (for the first 200 bookings).
