Save some cash and help the planet.

by Brook Wilkinson

Itching to plan a late-winter ski getaway? Check out some fantastic deals from Vail Resorts, a winner of Condé Nast Traveler's 2008 World Savers Awards. (The company offsets all of its electricity use with wind power credits, and contributes $1 from every season pass, room stay, and lift ticket purchased online to the National Forest Foundation.)

Breckenridge: Ski for three days and nights, and get your fourth day and night free, plus a bottle of organic Bonterra wine and a $50 resort voucher. This deal is good through February 15th. Or if you've only got a weekend, save 20 percent on all Breckenridge lodging through April.

Vail: Buy three nights at the Lodge at Vail, and get a fourth night free plus a $150 spa credit. This one's good on certain dates through mid-April.

Keystone: Pay just $99 for a room at the Inn at Keystone, Slopeside Studios, Gateway Mountain Lodge, Lakeside Village, or the Ski Tip Bed & Breakfast if you book by January 31.
