deviation charges is only about $100 for airline.
hotel is about $150 for an average 3-4 stars hotel if you check from the net.
maybe if you book hotel from them, they charge you $250 per room per night.
for airport transfer, not sure about the price, but i think if you may check with the hotel staff how much to take cab to airport, as it may be cheaper.

Like I said, its one of the cheaper ones available..

CTC is about $1680
Hong thai is about $1520

Hong Thai and CTC stay in 5 to 6 stars hotels
Genting Holidays stay in 3 to 4 starts hotels.

Ski Resort
Hong Thai and CTC have 1 or 2 nights stay in ski resort
Genting holidays will go to another place to stay after skiiing.

you defintely need a thermal wear on the bottom to keep you warm.
try to get a pair that is fitting, loose thermal will not keep you warm so much.
lastly, put on your jeans or pants.
