@Philpug can confirm this, but I believe its the intent to stick with a 6 day program for the official gathering and let others decide if/when/where they want to spend the day previous and the day after. That being said, I'm sure you can pick any of the 3 as your bonus day and it will be awesome.

When we did the Summit/Eagle county Gathering with @Uncle Louie that was the program - 2 each at Breck, Vail and Arapahoe Basin, with a bonus day, which many of us spent at Copper, at the end to ski where you wanted.
We did something similar at Tahoe, when many folks took the extra day and went to Rose or Squaw.

I'm thinking of adding Jackson Hole to either the beginning or the end of the official gathering. It's only 5 hours from Snowbasin and it's on my wish list.

Who's heli skiing?

Honestly, a week or two response right when they've launched next year's pass doesn't seem all that crazy to me. Especially if they're actually considering giving some sort of extra benefit. I'm not sure how MCP functions but trying to get the right people together and come up with whatever benefit that might be would take time. Perhaps if/when you're negotiating you might ask that they make a benefit retroactive to those who were members of Pugski when the new pass Released?

Yeah, the drive from LCC to Snowbasin isn't THAT bad, for those of you who want to stay in that area. On the flip side, the drive from Ogden to any of the 3 also isn't that bad. The drive from my house to Snowbasin is as close as anything, but the inn is already full here!

Again, it was kind of you to agree to put me up.

She doesn't know it yet but someone is going to park an rv on the lawn.

I think she said I'm getting a queen. I hope she meant bed.

You are lucky she didn't offer a King!

Aren't they more or less the same?
Just a slight difference in the marching order.

The other difference is I'd turn down the King. Wait...

I think that's a great idea. Hmmm I haven't been to JH in a few years.

You guys are too funny! Hahahah!! @James, there IS no lawn here in winter typically--it had 5 feet of snow on it for much of this winter! We can only hope for the same next winter.

Well, in that case, Sierra can build a few igloos and you can rent them out.

If I tasked the neighbor kids with that, they'd be ALL over it! Brilliant!

Maybe this will become the Official Gathering Traveling Roadshow!!

Yeah those Canadian RV drivers are used to that. 10 feet might be tough, 5 is not bad. Or the kids dig it out and use the snow for a couple quinzhees for more people.

Hell, 10 feet, you can dig yourself a garage.

Where I live up to a 3' base is still lawn.

I'm thinking a Calvin & Hobbes snow sculpture party would be an appropriate après event.
