10. Last year, some enjoyed cross-country and snowshoeing at the resort. Are you interested in these options other than skiing/snowboarding? Pay individually to the resort on arrival. We'll let you know who else might be interested in the following options.

CARPOOL
Carpooling is strongly encouraged to pay our CO2 debts! Plus it's great to make friends in a car while driving for 4 hrs. We want to remind the drivers that the road conditions could be unexpected and snow chains are mandatory in the Sierras. You do not want to get stuck because of that in the middle of Hw 50 at night, without cellphone receptions.

11. For carpool. Do you offer to drive or need a ride to/from the resort? Carpool and share the gas fee!

12. If you need a spot, do you have your gear with you?

13. Thanks for offering to drive.

Is your car big enough to have gears?
How many spots are available for carpool?

14. For drivers. Are you comfortable driving in the snow? For those who have no experience with snow chains look at the following video on installing tire chains: Installing Tire Chains

15. For both drivers and those in need of a ride, where do want to carpool from?

16. Yes, all set!
Please note the amount you have to pay to Stanford University:
$50 for the refundable deposit
$20 for the lodging per person (also from your guest)
$X for the total ski package(s)

One challenge remains. Drumroll... How much $X for the ski packages do you have to pay (including your guest and children)? Please calculate yourself from the options you checked above and write down here so that we can double-check. (This will be in the range of $0 to $20 Mil so that you don't go bankrupt with the seed money you just got!) *This question is required.

17. Lastly, any comments/suggestions that you want to add? For instance, you want to volunteer for the party setup, or make a surprise marriage proposal there.
