      According to the FAQ the price doesn't seem too bad to me.

      @unknownuser said:

      We've negotiated a rate of US $139 (plus 9% tax) per night for a double-occupancy room. That's a very good price for a hotel room in Vail, and if you're up for having a roommate, it's even cheaper. In fact, when Basecamp registration opens, we'll offer a "roommate matching" service that can help you find someone to share a room with, if that's what you want to do.

      If you'd like to arrive in Vail early or stay longer, our special rate can be used to book rooms for up to three nights before and/or after the event, too. Turn Basecamp into your winter vacation and bring the whole family!

          So did my wife. It sounds like I might not be coming alone. πŸ˜•

            You also got a kid called Ian?

            Hope your wife likes wine.

                Does anyone know what the different sessions will be about? It would be good to have some kind of program to be able to convince the boss.

                    Yes, thanks but I was hoping there was some kind of program available before registration starts as I would need my boss's approval to be able to go.

                      I would expect there will be a program but it's kind of early yet.

                        I imagine the Boulder guys have not yet figured out the full agenda. They do say that the event will be more learner / user orientated in contrast to the last event which was ruby orientated so I imagine this will help you make a case to your boss.

                          @ Jan; we're hoping to provide a more detailed agenda in advance this go-round, but it's likely that might not be available until late January. That said, we want the big focus to be learning, so we're looking to do sessions that focus on modeling/documentation workflows broadly. The hope is to make it easy for your boss to say yes.

                          In general, we did want to make this Basecamp attractive to folks with families -- not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet! (Everyone likes wine, right!)

                            I was hoping for something specific that I could say I needed learning.

                                It has been some years since I have been skiing as I now live in southern Sweden but once it was good.
                                My childhood hero was Ingemar Stenmark if you remember him.

                                  Or Ingemar and I go way back. πŸ˜‰

                                  I was thinking you could tell your boss you'll be going to learn some very important downhill maneuvers. πŸ˜„ Would he go for that?

                                      Jan, why not have a think about what you feel you would like to learn and mention it here. Maybe that could go for others that may end up going! I am sure Mark would welcome suggestions.

                                        Nick, it looks like you have skied at this location already. I checked the route maps and see there are three locations.

                                        I also notice that the various runs show as Green, Blue and Black. Do they have Red runs?

                                          Probably a toilet bowl. πŸ’š

                                            Mike, no red runs here in the US, just single black diamond and double black diamond.........plenty challenging. I've actually not skied there, but know plenty of folks who have, and they all rave about the back bowls. Do a search on YouTube and you can see just how beautiful the ski area is.
