Here are the place options:
Rosario's
you all know what it would be like
Sun Mountain
Winthrop WA, xcountry skiing, 4-5 hour drive
http://www.sunmountainlodge.com/
Chateau Whistler
BC, downhill and xcountry skiing, 5 hour drive, can also go by train
Easier for travel by external visitors than Sun Mountain.
Here are the time options:
Wed-Fri, Dec 16-18
This overlaps with the last day of exams, which is a problem
for anyone taking a 12:30 or 3:30 class with a final, meaning
those people may have to travel separately. Please let Lisa
know asap if this applies to you.
Th-Sat, Dec 17-19
Trades leaving after the last day of exams vs. spilling into
the weekend, and impacting xmas travel plans.
M-W, Jan 18-20
This overlaps with MLK day, but we'd miss two full days
of classes (tuesday and wednesday).
Lisa has checked that Dec. 16-18th works for us getting
reservations; the other dates are speculative if there is a
groundswell against the 16th-18th.
