Base Camp 2014.
-
Jan, here's all the information we know so far.
-
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!)

How's your downhill skiing?

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.
I was thinking you could tell your boss you'll be going to learn some very important downhill maneuvers.
Would he go for that? -
Very cool location, and excellent skiing! Back bowls of Vail..........

The problem is that he thinks I'm quite good as it is...
I was hoping for something specific that I could say I needed learning.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.
Front Side http://www.vail.com/~/media/Vail/Files/TrailMaps/Frontsidemix.jpg
The Back Bowls / Blue Sky Basin http://www.vail.com/~/media/Vail/Files/TrailMaps/Backside.jpg
I also notice that the various runs show as Green, Blue and Black. Do they have Red runs?
@Pete Did you have a Bowl named after you? Pete's Bowl!!!

Probably a toilet bowl.

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.

You little rippa!! I missed last years BC but I'm going not going to miss this one!
Now which hat will I turn up in...?

MikeThats a good idea, and I have been thinking.
Exept for some Ruby programming what I want to learn is stuff mostly not existing in current SU.
Like advanced camera path animation (with speed ups and slowdowns), how to model efficiently for export to 3dsMax, dynamic terrain modelling, dynamic roads on terrain and texturing with smooth transitions between different surface materials, working with quads and Bezier surfaces in SU,(hint) and of cause how to work efficiently with heavy imported Revit models in the all new 64 bit SketchUp 2014... (Sorry, couldn't resist.) -

Maybe some food for thought for the Boulder guys -

Missed my snoring, huh?
It'll be good to see you again, Andrew. It sounds like I'll have the family along although I expect they'll go skiing all day if they can.
-
Sounds like fun, but I'll not make it yet again.
