Pajama Time

If it's been a while since your last good pillow fight, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Alberta is offering a Pajama Party Package from March 13–15, with numerous activities including a Friday night Pajama Party Mix & Mingle dinner reception, dance party, and workshops and seminars that include The Simple Truth About Being Happy, Merry Lovemaking, Feel Great Naked, Introduction to Yoga, and Introduction to Wine Tasting. In addition, the package includes door prizes, demonstrations, two night's accommodations, breakfast and lunch on Saturday, a Saturday Night Gala Dinner, and Sunday Farewell Brunch. Extend your stay long enough to enjoy the Fairmont's magnificent natural setting, which includes Lac Beauvert (Lake Beauvert) for seasonal boating and ice skating, and nearby Maligne Canyon. Open year-round, the canyon is considered one of the most stunning natural gorges in the Canadian Rockies, with steep limestone walls thrusting downward over 150 feet. During warmer months, you can hike an interpretive pathway leading from a picnic area over six separate bridges crossing the roaring Maligne River. Or if you're feeling adventurous, you can participate in guided tours that follow the frozen canyon floor. The cost for the Pajama Party package is $599 Canadian per person, based on double occupancy. A variety of spa services, including hot stone massages and facials, are available at the on-site spa at an additional charge. For more information visit www.thepajamaparty.info/jasper.html
