Frequently Asked Questions
What will the program look like? We'll
begin Thursday, February 28 with an evening reception. Then expect
early morning and late afternoon sessions on Friday, February 29, with
skiing between. We'll have another early morning session on Saturday,
March 1. Then we'll ski and have a wrap-up dinner on the mountain.
Where will we ski/board? We'll head to Snowbird on Friday and Deer Valley on Saturday.
Unfortunately, Deer Valley is a "skiing-only" mountain, so we'll drop
our boarders at Park City
Mountain Resort on the way to Deer Valley.
What does the conference fee cover? What
doesn't it cover? The $275 conference fee covers conference expenses
(including a luxury coach bus ride up the hill) and most meals. Not
included are meals on the mountain, ski lift tickets or rentals. We are
able to get a good discount on lift tickets.
What should I wear during sessions? Casual dress is encouraged.
It's best if we can make a quick getaway from the hotel to the bus, so
feel free to wear ski clothes to the sessions.
What if two days of skiing just isn't enough for
me? Scott Schaefer and Paul Oyer will be leading groups to Alta
and/or Snowbird on Thursday (2/28) and Sunday (3/2). E-mail one of us
to make arrangements.
Should I bring my family? Spouses and kids
are very welcome! We will do our best to provide information about
child-care arrangements for kids who don't ski. Please let Scott
Schaefer know if you are interested in information about child care.
Will you be paying airfare and hotel for
participants? How about for presenters? Unfortunately, we're not
able to do this at present.
What if four days of skiing just isn't enough
for me? The University of Utah offers good benefits and excellent
skiing. Contact Scott Schaefer.
