Wyndham Vacation Rentals, the world's largest professionally managed vacation rental business and part of the Wyndham Worldwide family of brands (NYSE: WYN), is pleased to announce its 2012 ski offers and discounts created to help both domestic and international travelers find affordable lodging with quality and comfort during their next ski trip. This season, offers are available in Colorado's Rocky Mountain Region, as well as some of Europe's most sought after ski destinations in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.

Home to nearly 70 winter Olympians, this year's U.S.-based offer brings guests to the beautiful mountain village of Steamboat Springs, Colo. where world-class skiing and more than 70 restaurants and 250 shops, situated from the base of the ski area to its historic downtown, have impressed visitors year after year.

Through Feb. 15, 2012, Steamboat Resorts is offering guests a chance to receive up to a $200 VISA® gift card at any of its properties in Steamboat Springs, including, EagleRidge Townhomes, Trailhead Lodge and Timber Run. The $200 VISA gift card is for bookings valued above $1,500 and a $100 VISA® gift card is also available for bookings valued below $1,500 USD.

"All of the Steamboat Resorts properties offer a genuine and helpful staff," said Bob Milne, president, Wyndham Vacation Rentals, North America. "But you're also getting an impressive selection of amenities including a complimentary bottle of wine and in-room coffee, free WiFi, and parking and shuttle service through the mountain village to downtown. And with the VISA gift card, you'll be able to stock the fridge in your rental."

For a taste of skiing abroad this season, travelers can choose from beautiful European ski areas found throughout Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic by booking with Landal GreenParks, a leader in chalet-park management and rentals. Make a reservation by Feb. 18 or from March 3 to April 14, 2012, to receive a discount of up to 30 percent on bungalows or chalets within the Landal Ski Life portfolio.
