Jack-My preference would be to stay at the hotel too, they have an awesome concrete "alpine slide" that you ride down on some kind of sled with wheels, then take the ski lift back to the top. Anyway, I want to make it as cheap as possible so that we get a good turn out. I'll call and see if I can get the rate down. The 74.50 rate is probably for weekdays right?
As far as camping goes, if that's what everyone wants to do, I think this will be our best bet
