Lehigh Valley, PA (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 25, 2008 -- Thanks to recent daytime temperatures reaching just above freezing, Lehigh Valley’s two ski resorts have already started making snow and expect to open during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. And with the snow comes the annual Stay & Ski overnight travel packages from Lehigh Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Rates start at $59.99 per person, per night and include overnight accommodations and a voucher for skiing, snowboarding or tubing at either mountain.
Packages are available through March 31, 2009, weather permitting. All rates are per person, based on double occupancy. Packages are subject to availability and are not valid with any other offer.
Participating hotels include popular brands such as Best Western, Holiday Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, Staybridge Suites and Four Points by Sheraton, among others. Travelers can log onto www.LehighValleyPA.org and click the “Travel Packages” button on the homepage for complete package details.
