Ski resorts
High price: Whistler, B.C., Canada
This top North American ski destination -- site of the 2010 winter Olympics -- can be pricey: The Westin Whistler costs around $752 a night for a two-bedroom suite. But a two-bedroom at the Coast Blackcomb Suites sleeps up to eight and costs $349 a night in April.
Low price: Keystone, Colo.
Three-bedroom rentals in this resort town near Denver average $361 a night in the spring, according to HomeAway.com -- much less than nearby Breckenridge, where the average is $571.
Bonus: Discount carriers Frontier and Southwest fly into Denver International Airport.
Tip: Pre-book ski equipment rentals and lift tickets for savings of 20% to 40%.
