Who wouldn't want to spend a month at North America's premier ski destination? The Whistler Sabbatical Project is the most exciting contest in the history of the resort, with an ultimate prize package that cannot be purchased: an invitation to completely immerse you in the Whistler dream.

It might seem like a no-brainer, but Tourism Whistler recognizes that, for most people, there are many obstacles that make it impossible to un-plug from day-to-day life for an entire month.

The Whistler Sabbatical Project aims to remove those barriers by providing the grand prize winner with a complete, four-week Whistler experience plus a salary of up to $4,200.00 to help offset the expenses of taking a month off work and everyday life.

Having launched October 17, the Whistler Sabbatical Project offers you the chance to win one month in Whistler. Expenses paid. This includes airfare, transportation, accommodation, lift passes, and ski / snowboard equipment, a salary- plus a series of extraordinary, and some even priceless, experiences.

Each week until the end of January, the Whistler Sabbatical Project will showcase unique and exciting Whistler experiences online - and ask the question: Would you do it?

How contestants respond to this question will set the stage for building an itinerary of adventure in Whistler that includes some activities you'd expect from this mountain town, while others you've never dreamed possible. From slicing the tops off magnums of champagne with a sabre (in a 20,000 bottle wine cellar) to a world-class spa facility, once-in-a-lifetime culinary experiences to on-mountain adventures that are bucket-list worthy - this collection of Whistler experiences will create a lifetime of bragging rights.

Visitors to the Whistler Sabbatical website get a special glimpse of each experience through videos that highlight the elements of the Whistler Sabbatical Project. The videos showcase many of the activities that make the resort such an amazing place to live and visit.

The contest entry for the Whistler Sabbatical Project is available at www.whistler.com/wouldyoudoit. In addition to the Whistler Sabbatical Projectw, contestants can enter to win each of the highlighted experiences as a weekly prize via Facebook at www.facebook.com/GoWhistler.

The Whistler Sabbatical Project contest closes January 31, 2012 with 10 randomly-selected finalists drawn between February 1-10, 2012 and the grand-prize winner notified on February 13, 2012. Would you do it?
