Not necessarily.
The area that time of year is busy. Compare the quotes so far to motel 6 and it's $357 for all 3 nights. The difference is that Harvey's will waive parking if under contract by the 5th. Still looking, but will put this to bed soon.

Ok Got this sorted out. We will be staying at the old Montbleu Now Bally's. I was looking around and for the $, unless we stay really low end they are about the same.
I was able to put this together through Priceline and they don't charge a $15 a day fee to park. The other prices are a little more, but it's a wash. It will also allow everyone to book directly and not have to worry about applying a discount.
You can make your reservations here -
https://groupdeals.priceline.com/eh/4b005-1539
If you are coming down on Thursday (like I am) you can change the date in the check in box and hit update to get the rate for that night too.
I would advise booking this early rather than later as I suspect it will fill up.
Note the cancellation penalty of one night before 5/25 at the cheapest rate, so for a few $ maybe pay that??
I think this will offer the best bang for the $

College has had me pretty busy these last few months, and I haven't been able to keep up to date on The World. The 914 is sleeping soundly back home for now. Last WCR was a blast but looks like this one is the weekend before finals so I'll have to sit this one out. Look forward to the pictures though!

I don’t want to create undo worry, the roads are usually dry in June, it is likely though that at least some of the larger ski resorts will be open. Historically, the longest I recall is the 4th of July. We have something like 200% plus of our normal snow pack at this time and it is still snowing.
Bottom line, contact 914Rubber.com and get a reproduction ski rack! Add skiing to the list of optional activities.

This is an actual house in Incline Village! We are now over 55’ and approaching the record for the second highest snowfall total since records were kept. The weather has been warming and this will melt but, again, the ski resorts will likely still be open. The roads are open and dry mostly. This will likely be the most beautiful scene. Snow, blue water, bright sunshine. I can’t wait!

As I said, the ski resorts may still be open for you guys who ski. Heavenly if you’re not familiar, is the one that looks straight down at the lake from its summit. The resorts don’t get too aggressive about extending the season. This is a three week extension. The problem is, their staff is seasonal and they have to make sure that they have enough staying on to run the resort.

There are also a ton of pot holes popping low profile tires from the snow removal equipment. Hopefully some of these will get fixed soon. I was just up there last week in a 4x4.

We have secured a site for the show and shine. It is looking like many events will be on the valley floor. As I said, the ski resorts may be open, three announced a three week extension of the their season. One announced they will extend to the 4th of July today.

What about a boat ride on the lake? I have entirely randomly discovered a 914 guy among my Facebook friends who lives at the lake. He is a boat captain and his job involves excursions. He owns a sailboat called the Pirate but we suspect it will not be big enough for everyone.
I discovered he was a 914 guy when he posted a picture of a rear deck lid he was glassing a spoiler on. WTF! I’ve known him for a year and I didn’t know he had a V8 914 ratrod!
Anyway, if you’re interested, let me know.

Steve,
Traditionally,we have a BBQ in the parking lot. We haven’t begun to shape out that end of the schedule because it looks right now,like standing in a parking lot after dark might be uncomfortable. If it is, we would probably take over a room in the hotel. But we have to work out the mechanics and rules for that.
