Thank you VIA Rail, Jasper Park Lodge and Marmot Basin for donating such a

wonderful trip last winter.

This was my first time traveling by train. I was fortunate to win this trip for two at

our Christmas party. VIA Rail provided fascinating historical information, friendly

and courteous attendants, and a very comfortable ride. We loved the scenery; it was

so beautiful.

Jasper Park Lodge had amazing surroundings. The restaurant and hotel stay were

more than accommodating and the room service was extravagant. It's the perfect

place to relax and unwind on vacation.

The ski trip was a great experience. I'm a beginner snow boarder and it provided

runs for all levels of skiers and boarders. I didn't feel intimidated and was able to

safely enjoy my day on the hill.

There is so much that Jasper has to offer- to visitors. I would highly recommend

renting a car if you want to explore more of the sights in the area. My sister and 1

will always remember this trip!

Thanks again for donating this wonderful package.
