PQE-2008 Venue

The 38th Winter Colloquium on the Physics of Quantum Electronics, PQE-2008, will be held at Snowbird Utah, USA.

Hotel Reservations

All participants must make their own hotel reservations. To make hotel reservations:

• Call Snowbird central reservations at +1-800-232-9542. If you cannot call toll-free numbers in the US, then call +1-801-947-8220.

• Depending on what the recorded message says, you either want the option to speak with a "lodging specialist" or "to make new reservations".

• Tell them you are with the PQE Conference to get the group rate.

• There are several hotels at Snowbird, and the conference will be in the "Cliff Lodge" so we recommend that one.

• You may want to book ground transportation to and from the airport when you make your hotel reservation. Read more on that below.

• Their fax number is: +1-801-947-8227 and their web site is www.snowbird.com

Reaching Snowbird

• To reach Snowbird, the nearest airport is the Salt-Lake City, Utah, international airport. The three-letter code is SLC.

• Snowbird is about 1 hour by car from the Salt-Lake City airport. However, it is important to realize that the resort is in the mountains, at about 2500 meters altitude. It is common for there to be a lot of snow and for the road to be restricted for avalanche control. Although you can drive, the conditions can be uncertain, and we do not recommend that you drive.

• We recommend that you arrange ground transportation through Canyon Transportation which runs vans regularly from the airport to the resorts. You can make reservations directly from their web site at www.canyontransportation.com or Snowbird can book the transportation for you when you reserve your hotel room.

• Here is Snowbird's page on getting there. When reading this page, keep in mind that Snowbird's estimates of the time it takes are wildly optimistic.
