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.
If you have any questions, or if we can help you in some way,
