The Colder the Better

At the Snowvillage Inn in Snowville, New Hampshire, it's no surprise that the innkeeper likes cold weather. And Kevin Flynn is trying to convince others that freezing temperatures aren't a bad thing by offering serious discounts if it's very cold during your stay.

The Snowvillage Inn is offering The Colder the Better Ski Package. Guests can book any two non-holiday nights at the Snowvillage Inn and enjoy a gourmet dinner for two one night, a full country breakfast for two each morning, and two lift tickets to King Pine Ski Area or Cranmore Resort for one day for $399 per couple.

What makes the package unique is the cold-weather guarantee: If the daytime high fails to get above 10 degrees fahrenheit, guests using this package will receive 50% off room and breakfasts costs. If the daytime high fails to get above 0 degrees fahrenheit, guests will receive 75% off room and breakfasts costs. And if the daytime high stays below 0 degrees fahrenheit during your stay, your room and breakfasts are free.

Note: Skiing and dinner costs are not temperature related.

"This is the winter season in New Hampshire, it is supposed to be cold!," said Mr. Flynn. "While I agree that last week's temperatures were a little cold, even for Snowvillites, there was some of the best skiing of the year last weekend."

Flynn added, "There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes!"

Those willing to take a gamble on the weather can visit the Snowvillage Inn web site or call (800) 447-4345 for more information or to make reservations.
