Big Savings for U.S Travelers: A Favorable Exchange Rate Means a Ski Vacation is 40% + Off in the North

Winter is here, and for U.S travelers dreaming of fresh powder and picturesque mountain views – SkiBig3 is calling! Whilst we have a lot going for us in our destination - breathtaking slopes, small-town atmosphere, new culinary and accommodations and endless outdoor adventures; there’s one more reason to book a trip this season: the favorable U.S exchange rate. With the U.S. dollar currently stretching further than usual in Canada, skiers and snowboarders can enjoy even more value for their money—whether you’re booking lift tickets, dining out, or indulging in après-ski activities.

Currently, the U.S exchange rate is stronger than we have seen in a while, with $1USD converting to $1.40 CAD (as of December 2nd, 2024). That means your $100 CAD dinner bill is only costing you $60 – that's a 40% saving! This is great news for travelers who want to experience somewhere new for their next vacation, whilst not having to travel too far or break the bank.

Martin Luther King (MLK) Weekend 

More good news for U.S. travelers... MLK day, January 19, 2026, isn’t a holiday in Canada, making it the perfect time to escape the crowds and hit the slopes in the Canadian Rockies. While crowds flock to US resorts across the country, experience shorter lines and less spending up North!  With the stronger U.S. dollar, it’s an ideal opportunity for a long weekend getaway, or possibly an extended stay and turning it into a week-long vacation. 

Spring

If you’re not one for the cooler temperatures we can see here in the Rockies or aren't quite ready to say goodbye to the ski season, Spring is the ideal time to travel. Spring ski & stay specials offer substantial savings with last-minute deals, mid-week specials, and short-stay packages. For less of your dollar, you can expect to have longer, warmer days and historically one of the snowiest months of the season. Experience one of the longest ski seasons in the world! Enjoy snow and deals from April through the third week of May.  

Need we say more?
