Lodging

A block of rooms has been reserved at The Resort at Squaw Creek, located near Squaw Valley, home of the 1960 Olympics. In order to take full advantage of symposium events, as well as maximize your opportunity to network with colleagues, we encourage all participants to lodge at this first-class facility. (Please note: RMS will incur a penalty if the room minimum is not met.)

Single/double occupancy is $99.00 per night for a deluxe guestroom. In order to receive this special discount rate, you must make your reservation no later than April 1, 2004. A one-night deposit is required to confirm your reservation. If you make your reservation after April 1, 2004, the $99.00 rate may not apply, and your reservation is subject to availability. Mountain suites may also be reserved at $149.00, single or double occupancy.

In addition to your room rate, there is a daily resort fee so that many small charges may be eliminated. This $12.00 per room, per night fee covers guest service gratuities (including bellmen and valet), maid gratuities, daily paper, valley shuttle throughout Squaw Valley and to Tahoe City (Lake Tahoe), in-room coffee service, telephone credit card / 1 (800) access fee, local phone calls, incoming faxes, unlimited use of the health club facilities, and ski/golf valet and storage.
