"Fall is ski season in Utah. Hotels rooms get scarce and very expensive. " I'm guessing this was supposed to say Colorado instead of Utah? Our ski season (in Utah) rarely starts before Thanksgiving and the Hotels in the areas being considered for a possible future National shouldn't be impacted much even then. Unless you wanted to stay in Park City <G>! Other than that, thanks for a very informative post, Joan, and for the efforts you, Nanci and the whole Board go through in trying to find locations that meet a very large list of requirements!
