Shredgar - doing that Salt Lake City Level 1 - is there alternative lodging close by or can you only stay in the lodge if you're doing the course? Is it a ski in lodge? A friend might be coming that won't be taking the course so was wondering what else might be availalbe?

It's about a 3 minute walk in snow from the parking lot. The Brighton Lodge is right there too.

shredgar's post was regarding the january class. i assume the february class is just as good and also not to be missed (?).

does anybody have a good guestimation about when the february class will sell out? i need to pull some stings together, which will take a little time, before i can commit.

thanks
