I know! This one is for a decent resort on a ski hill in Northern MN (ski runs won't be open yet though). Rooms normally run in the 200/night range and the entire weekend was for 150! The colors should be gorgeous though, it is right in the middle of Superior National Forest which if you're not familiar, pretty much covers the bulk of the northwest top quarter of the state. Absolutely lovely. We saved so much $$ that we're treating ourselves to a couple's hot stone massage! (also half off with the groupon)
