Great Outdoors
[SPORTS] Tell the rugged folk at US Outdoor Store, "Willy sent me," and nab an extra 10 percent off any single item except surfboards. US Outdoor Store, 219 SW Broadway, 223-5937, usoutdoor.com.

Snow Bunnies
[SKI] If it's cold, at least you should take advantage of it. Timberline Lodge is doing a "Weekday Ski Relief" coupon deal—$20 off an adult lift ticket (or $10 off for skiers any other age) valid for any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday through Feb. 26. Limit one coupon per person per visit. You must present your coupon when buying your ticket. Thanks, Mr. Mountain! Print out your coupon at timberlinelodge.com/deals.

Central Time
[GETAWAY] Need a break from Portland altogether? Eagle Crest, a damn purdy golf, ski and spa resort community right outside Bend, wants you to come stay with them. Email your best reason why "I have to get the hell outta Portland right now" (300 words or less, please) to deals@wweek.com, subject line "GET ME OUTTA PORTLAND," through Saturday, Feb. 7. We'll publish all your ramblings on our site. Whomever we deem to be most in need of a short getaway will win a free two-night stay at the Inn at Eagle Crest. Come to think of it, though, Eagle Crest's already offering some darn good deals. Through the end of February, the "Romance Package" will garner you one night of heaven complete with chocolates and champagne ($115), while the "Hoodoo Ski Package" includes a room plus two adult lift tickets for $135. Eagle Crest Resort, 1522 Cline Falls Road, Redmond, eagle-crest.com. To make a reservation, call 1-866-630-6062.

Between the Sheets
[LUXE LIFE] Swank-maker The Nines is inviting us commoners to come in from the cold. The boutique hotel recently launched Ninety Nine days for $99 (Jan. 9-April 19). That's a Tiffany-box-blue room for less than a lonely Benjamin. It's worth it just to be able to hang out in the hotel's awesome leather-clad library and eyeball the local art collection. 525 SW Morrison St., thenines.com. Reserve online or call 1-888-627-7208 and make sure to ask for rate code 99NINES.
