The Holiday Inn Summit
County in Frisco will be the Headquarters for Rockies-Gold 2010, providing a
great facility for our gathering. The
Holiday Inn is currently undergoing a MAJOR renovation (pretty much down to the
structural components of the facility), which is scheduled to be completed well
before Rockies-Gold 2010. The Holiday Inn has more than 200 rooms, so we
are hoping that everyone will be able to stay at the same location.
WingNutZZ has arranged for special rates for our stay and all rooms (one King or
two Queens [currently two doubles, but will be Queens after the renovation] will
be at the same nightly price of $79 + taxes. The facility has interior
corridors, but a large parking lot out back will provide us with a great place
for kicking tires and doing a little hanging-out. WingNutZZ has blocked
150 rooms (updated to 180 rooms on 12/19/2009) -- blocked rooms will be held
until 31 July 2010.
NOTE: WingNutZZ will be following
the renovation closely to ensure that all rooms for Rockies-Gold will be
renovated with completely new furnishings. The exterior, lobby, bar,
restaurant, and pool area are also being renovated.

As of 17 January 2010, the Holiday Inn
is completely booked for the 15-19 September event -- there are several rooms
booked that period that are not listed as being Rockies-Gold, so I am thinking
that some folks did not indicate or get listed as being with our group. We
will work through that issue in the future. If anyone cancels their
Rockies-Gold reservation please let me know.
Please scroll down to find information
on our 2nd hotel, the Ramada Inn, which is located right next door to the
Holiday Inn.
The Holiday Inn Summit County is the ideal location, placed amidst
the Rocky Mountains and bordering Lake Dillon and conveniently
accessible from I-70 and only 80 miles west of Denver (DEN).
The town of Frisco is just minutes away from world-class skiing at
Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Keystone, Loveland Basin and Copper Mountain ski
areas. Each ski resort offers a vast amount of summer activities that are
sure to be fun for the whole family. During summer months enjoy mountain
biking, golfing, hiking, sailing and fishing on beautiful Lake Dillon.
Silverthorne Outlet shops are only a five minute drive as well as
historic Main Street Frisco featuring wonderful restaurants, night life
and boutiques. Take a ride on the “Summit Stage”, Summit County’s
free local transportation bus station located adjacent to the hotel (service
hours vary by season).
Enjoy breakfast or dinner at the Peak One Restaurant and Lounge or
an evening beverage in the lounge. The hotel features an indoor pool
with a hot tub and sauna open from 8 AM to 11 PM and our fitness center is
open 24-hours. Complimentary wireless Internet service is

You can make your reservations on-line or via

Our Group Rate "RGN" is $79/night + taxes.
After the renovation the rooms will be 1K or 2Q
per room, so make your reservation for the 1K or 2 double/full for now.
Canceling your reservation before 6:00 PM on your
scheduled arrival date will result in no charge. Canceling
your reservation after 6:00 PM on your scheduled arrival date, or
failing to show, will result in a charge of 1 night per room to your credit
card. Taxes may apply. Failing to call or show before check-out time after the
first night of a reservation will result in cancellation of the remainder of
your reservation.
15-19 September 2010
(Wednesday-Sunday, or whichever nights you desire; if you want a few more full
days for riding, then try to arrive on Tuesday or leave on Monday; the
negotiated rates will be honored for additional nights).
NOTE: A lot of folks are arriving on
Tuesday to allow for four full days of riding from Frisco.
Use the following link to make your reservations
on-line:
NOTE: The Reservations
link is a little finicky at times, so if the page comes up and asks you to enter
the location and rate, just exit the page and click the link again -- it should
come up with the Summit County location and also have the Group Rate "RGN"
listed. Please ensure that this RGN rate code appears. You should
not have to fill-in the location as that comes up also.
The hotel will honor our $79 rate for
additional nights before and after Wed-Sun. The marketing staff will be
ensuring that their front desk personnel are aware of this and should also be
expanding the rate code dates in their computer system. If you call (or
use the web) and that rate code is not allow for the other nights, just go ahead
and make the reservation. Please do not hassle the reservation person if
they do not have it as they may have not yet gotten the word! We will then
change it manually prior to the event.
You can also call to make your reservation -- be
sure to tell them that you are with "Rockies-Gold", Group Rate "RGN" for
Rockies-Gold attendees only; $79/night plus taxes.

Camping information. Most of the camping in this area is either fairly
rustic (national forest campground) or quite upscale. If you wish to camp,
you should probably do your own research for camping/campgrounds for Summit
County, CO. A couple of links that might be useful are:
For those spouses who wish to attend but
who do not want to made a cross-country trip on the back of the bike to get to
Frisco, the best option is probably to fly into Denver International Airport,
located about 85 miles to the east.
