Murder Mystery Weekend
November 4-6, 2011

For a weekend away from it all, why not really get away from it all and become a totally different person? You get to be someone else, perhaps even a murderer, or at least a suspect.

All guests are assigned a role to play. The plot unfolds over the course of two days, ending with a wrap-up session in which solutions are proposed, fun awards are given out and the truth is revealed. Plenty of time-out for recreation and relaxation is provided. Participants are sent a character profile before the mystery so they'll know who they are to play, how to dress and what props might be required.

Weekend for two includes:
• 2 nights accommodation
• 3 Full country meals a day
• Friday evening reception where clues & the crime scene are revealed
• Individual Murder Mystery clue packets
• Sleuth the day away gathering clues
• Four Course Dinner by Candlelight on Saturday evening
• Sunday morning Awards breakfast

And a weekend full of outdoor recreation! Please call for further information. Group discounts are available for 7 or more room reservations. Call 1-888-606-9463 or 435-462-0282 for pricing

Forget the standard ski vacation with chairlifts and boundarys - we kite the beautiful backcountry. We have been guiding there for years and have found the best in lodging, riding and we know where the local bar is...and its owned by kiters. For more information check out and contact Wind Over Water.
