Deals as good as one from the Spring Creek Ranch in Jackson Hole don't come around very often.

A new package, valid for January 3-31 trips, is packed with special values -- making it possibly the best gift you could put under the tree this year.

This last-minute "Double Your Pleasure" package to Wyoming is virtually a four-for-the-price-of-two, including round-trip airfare from Atlanta.

Included are accommodations for five nights in a two bedroom condo for four persons; round-trip airfare from/to Atlanta; daily breakfast; one three course dinner for four persons (soup, salad or appetizer, entree, dessert); four massages; three days of skiing; a wildlife safari for the group and complimentary shuttle service to town and to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Also included is the resort fee; taxes and tips are additional.

The total price will vary by specific travel dates and is based on availability, but the price for four is averaging around $4,775 or about $1,195 per person, based on four people traveling and staying together.

The 1,000-acre Spring Creek Ranch, one of Jackson Hole's top resorts, is located on a butte just outside the Western town of Jackson and overlooking beautiful Jackson Hole Valley. This secluded mountain retreat features elegant accommodations with stone fireplaces and hand-made lodgepole pine furniture.

Choose from suites, studios with full kitchens, two- and three-bedroom luxury condominiums and executive homes. Unique to Spring Creek Ranch is a full-service Wilderness Adventure Spa for après ski massages, mud wraps, hot stone massages, sunrise facials, Acupressure, and more.
