My only ask is that for the weekend warriors out there, can you please designate which weekend we should try to attend if the week covers more than one or straddles a week? This year's was listed as Sunday to Saturday which hurt my ability to attend, not knowing if more people would arrive early or stay late.
Dryheat,
At the time of the initial destination, full details and dates are very much to be decided, and, generally are not set until sometime in the fall. Having said that, there is no need to be there on the first day, last day, and all days in between. If it starts on Sunday, many will fly in and ski Saturday. Others opt to fly in mid-week and ski through the following weekend. Good news at SLC is there a a ton of motels near the access road to Alta/Bird so inexpensive housing is available. Gatherings are a "do your own thing" type of event, other than the early morning meet-up.
Trust the Gathermeister, all will become clear in plenty of time to make plans. Each week I have been, remains a cherised memory.
