The 2010 Winter Olympics are in full swing and the USA brought home six medals yesterday, highlighted by a gold medal performance by Lindsey Vonn in the women's downhill event. Members of Exclusive Resorts, the world's largest destination club, got to enjoy the celebration without even getting cold.

"Our Whistler residences are so close to the downhill course, members could hear Lindsey Vonn from the hot tubs on their decks today as she won the downhill gold!" wrote the club on Facebook yesterday.

Exclusive Resorts gives members access to a global portfolio of luxury vacation properties for less than the cost of the down payment on a single second home. Included in the club's $1 billion portfolio are four luxury residences on Whistler Mountain. Averaging 4,250 square feet each, the multi-level homes make for an ideal four season destination.

Special events like the Olympics, Super Bowl, and festivals that take place near destination club properties are often some of the most popular travel periods during the year. M Private Residences conducted a special lottery to determine which members would have access to their Whistler property. The M Private Residence property in Victoria was available on a first come, first served basis.

Properties near these special events are often the most requested throughout the year. If you are considering destination club membership, learning more about how each club handles occupancy during these travel periods is one of the many areas that you should consider when conducting your due diligence evaluation.
