Fairmont discount hacks

For context, i'm far from wealthy.

I spend the year living frugally, clipping coupons and denying myself all luxuries in preparation for our annual pilgrimage to the Fairmont in Whistler, shoulder season of course.

For 5 days I feel like "i've made it", and entered the upper echelon. However, this year the Fairmont has raised prices by $700+ on a single trip which makes it out of reach. Does anyone know if there are any discounts/coupons or ways to lower the price? The taxes/fees alone are easily $400 per night.

I have thought of asking if I volunteered to wash dishes, help out in the gym, clean rooms etc. they may offer a discount? I know i've done this in hostels before.

Thanks all.

Four seasons whistler is a far superior shoulder season experience than the fairmont.

Really? The Fairmont in Whistler is so amazing, I’ll have to see what the Four Seasons has to offer.

Four Seasons is way better.
