Q: Are there any economical places to stay around Whistler Blackcomb for those driving up from Seattle for a quick couple of days of skiing? I'm considering a Wed night / Thurs night stay and looking for a clean place just to crash.

A: You could very well find a deal through Whistler Blackcomb's last-minute booking service. Check two to three weeks out at www.whistlerblackcomb.com/lastminute/index.htm. You'll see the room type, star rating, location and amenities - but not the hotel name. Once the transaction is complete, the exact hotel will be revealed.
