It’s not even Thanksgiving and believe it or not, it’s already time for those of you who want to take a timeshare Christmas Vacation in 2009 to get that request going. 

The timeshares having the most demand will be located in ski areas in Colorado like Telluride, Aspen, Vail or Beaver Creek.  Lake Tahoe and Whistler British Columbia will have far more requests than available weeks as well.

Warm beach areas like Hawaii, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and the Caribbean will be very high demand as well.

 One of the biggest challenges you’ll ever face when exchanging is trying to get a holiday.  Your competition, the people who do get holidays, are the savviest exchangers in the industry. 

While you don’t necessarily need to own a Premier or Gold Crown resort on the beach in Maui to exchange for a holiday week, you do need to know both how to maximize your exchange power, and just as important, how to strategically put in that request. 

In a series of short articles I’ll give you some great insider trading secrets to help you get to where you want to go.

That’s all for now.  More tips in the next post.

You don’t have to be a skier to enjoy this Colorado Rocky Mountain resort.  There is plenty to see and do in the summertime as well.  The St. James Place, resort number 2266 in RCI, is in the beautiful Beaver Creek Village just a few miles from its famous sister, Vail.  Winter and summer are both the most highly demanded times for timeshare exchangers. 

A quick check with Travelocity pulled up a 2 bedroom in July for $329/night and no availability for December for skiing, so if you can exchange into the St. James Place, you’re getting a great value.

Located less than 200 yards to slopes at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain you’ll enjoy some of the finest skiing in North America. If you’re taking the kids, Beaver Creek’s children’s ski school is world-renowned.

You’ll find the ski terrain ranges from novice to expert.  Plus, once you are checked in you can forget your car as the Village has every amenity imaginable. Within a very short walk through the European style village you’ll find an outdoor ice rink, the magnificent Vilar Center for the performing arts, dining with cuisine for everyone, from pizza and burgers to fine dining and World-class spa treatment.

The St. James Place offers several hot tubs, both indoors and out and a fitness room. All condos, except the hotel units, have fully equipped kitchens, washers, dryers and a fireplace in each unit.

Beaver Creek has plenty of on-site and nearby activities to keep you busy summer.  Enjoy hiking, biking, rafting, horseback riding, tennis, chairlift rides and plenty of great golf courses.

And of course, some of the best skiing in all of North America.  Here are some quick facts.

So get your timeshare exchange request for the St. James Place in now with RCI.  If you increase your chances of exchanging into this world class resort you need a lot of exchange help.  You’ll find it at TheTimeshareExpert.Com.

Have fun.
