			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Although we are in the midst of winter, you&#8217;d never believe it here at the ranch. We are experiencing the warmest winter on record and instead of the fields of snow that I usually see this time of year, everything is bare. This warmer weather brought our thoughts here to Spring at the ranch and we wanted to let you know about some great special offers we have.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-719 aligncenter" title="dsc_0006" src="http://www.todmountainranch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dsc_0006-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></p>
<h2>Spring Specials</h2>
<p>We are now offering <strong>reduced rates on all dates in May &amp; June</strong>. These savings represent around 15% off our usual summer rates. For further details, check <a href="http://www.todmountainranch.com/rates/" target="_blank">our website</a>.</p>
<h2>Note On Taxes &amp; How To Save</h2>
<p>The BC Government recently announced some tax changes which will affect travellers to BC after 1st July 2010. The current tax rate for ranch stays is 6.2% and this will increase to 12% for all bookings from 1st July. However, if you have already booked, or were planning your ranch vacation after 1st July, there is an opportunity to avoid this increase. Simply book and <strong><em>pay in full</em> <em>prior to 1st May 2010</em></strong> and you will only be charged the current tax rate of 6.2%. <a href="http://www.todmountainranch.com/contact" target="_blank">Contact Tracey for further details.</a></p>
<h2>Free Transfers from Kamloops</h2>
<p><img class="right" title="westjet-plane" src="http://www.todmountainranch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/westjet-plane.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="121" />We are delighted to announce that we are now offering free transfers to and from Kamloops at the start and end of your vacation. We will pick you up or drop you off at Kamloops Airport, Greyhound Bus Station or any downtown hotel/motel. Just let us know your travel plans and we will arrange to meet you.</p>
<h2>Facebook</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.todmountainranch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/facebook-badge.gif"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-507" title="facebook-badge" src="http://www.todmountainranch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/facebook-badge.gif" alt="" width="144" height="44" /></a>Don&#8217;t forget to visit our Facebook page for more stories and photographs that are not on our website.

<p>The tree was cut and brought to the lodge earlier this week, and we decorated it yesterday in readiness for the guests arriving this weekend.  The smell of the spruce tree and fir boughs, cinnamon and spice greets you as you enter the guest lodge and the bright red of the poinsettias at their most beautiful create a magnificent centerpiece on our dining table.</p>

<p>During the day, relax and enjoy the comfort, calm and tranquility of the ranch. Go hiking, snowshoeing or cross country skiing on ungroomed trails around the ranch. Visit Sun Peaks Resort (just 15 minutes away) for downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiles, dog sledding and sleigh rides. You can even ski with Santa at Sun Peaks on 23rd and 24th December. Rate includes accommodation, all meals, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks &amp; snacks throughout your stay</p>

You curled up in front of a roaring log fire, cup of hot chocolate, homebaked cookies and that paperback you&#8217;ve been meaning to read all year.  Breath in that clean crisp air as you walk through the meadows, winter sun on your face.  Sleep restfully in your handcrafted log bed in your cabin hidden amongst the trees.
