Hi all,
If you are considering attending this most prestigious and long-standing
tradition of getting on the snow and attending clinics, and just having
an all-around good time skiing and eating, please let me know. Our usual
accomodations at the San Moritz condos are available and they are running
an online special of 10% off reservations until Oct. 15.
At this point, I think we have enough verified for a 3 bdr. condo, and my
little sister is coming with her family and they will be getting a condo
as well. The cost ran between $40 and $50 per night per person. We had
TONS of Thanksgiving leftovers and ate most meals at the condo.
If you are considering going, even if you have other accomodation plans,
please let me know. I can either verify or scratch you off the list, but
know that you are going. So far, I have quite a few "don't knows,
maybes, going to 'other' camp plans," etc.
Fact of the matter is, this is a great trip, the clinics are good, it's
not too crowded or competitive, and the snow is usually very good. Last
year was the weirdest conditions for snow -- they had only about 6" in
town when we got there, so we skied up at a place called Lilly Lake up on
top of Ohio Pass on Thanksgiving day, which was an awesome place to ski
if you didn't mind the 1 km hike up a rather steep hill. Jarrod loved
that a lot, right Jarrod? The next day, a storm blew in and closed the
pass, which left us in transition with not quite enough in town to REALLY
ski, but enough to hold clinics in small areas. After that, we got so
much snow that we could barely ski because the groomers (w/ big Pisten
Bullys) could barely get through it. By Monday (we didn't bother driving
home on Sunday), there was 60" of new snow.
We stayed in room I-302 (International building) last year:
