The Winter Conference is a friendly and informal meeting that provides an opportunity to combine intensive, scientifically rigorous discussions on a variety of topics related to animal conditioning, behavior and learning with skiing at one of Colorado's premier ski areas, Winter Park. There is downhill skiing for all skill levels, up to black diamond, as well as exciting cross-country skiing in the Arapaho National Forest, Devil's Thumb and Snow Mountain Ranch. The majestic snow-covered Rockies in winter are breathtaking. The all inclusive cost for registration, four nights in a shared Snowblaze condominium, an opening buffet reception, snacks during sessions, and a closing dinner at a fine restaurant in Winter Park is only $350 per person or $700 per couple (couples have their own room, usually with private bath, in a condo). The cost of the Conference is the same as it was in 2001! The Snowblaze is located in Winter Park near restaurants and shops. It has an excellent health club with sauna, steam room, hot tub, pool, weight room and handball courts. All units have complete kitchens. A family can have an entire 2-bedroom condominium unit for $1,050 plus $100 for each person over three. The 2-bedroom units each sleep up to six people if a convertible sofa in the living room is used. All family members are invited to the opening buffet reception, closing dinner and sessions. Daily paper sessions begin 3:30 - 4:00pm and end in time for a fashionably late dinner. All participants are invited to make a presentation and suggest topics. Graduate students are welcome, and can make presentations with the written recommendation of their advisor. DEPOSITS We will be in the Colorado Rockies just a week before the prime ski season starts. Therefore, condominiums need to be reserved early. If you think you would like to attend WCALB 2010, please let me (sweiss@american.edu) know ASAP by e-mail and send your refundable (until November 30) deposit ($50 per person, $100 per couple, $200 per family) by October 15, 2009. Make deposit checks out to Stanley Weiss, WCALB with "WCALB 2010" in the lower left corner. Final payment is due November 30, 2009, when receipts will be sent. Until that date, your deposit can be returned if conditions develop that prevent you from attending the Conference. But timely deposits are very important for appropriate planning and to ensure we reserve enough condominiums. Please send your deposits to: Stan Weiss,
Convener Accommodations at the indicated rates cannot be guaranteed once the reserved condo units are filled. We will do our best to include late registrants in the Conference, but often they have had to pay substantially more for their accommodations because they couldn't be housed in a reserved condominium. Therefore, if you are interested in attending the Conference let me know soon and send your refundable (until November 30) deposit by October 15, 2009. A CALL for presentations will go out to registered participants in mid December. If you have any questions or suggestions, contact me at sweiss@american.edu. Hope to see you in Winter Park! Stan
