I spent last weekend at a Snowcat Jamboree in Leavenworth, WA and talked to many local contacts and I am in the process of working a special group rate at Der Ritterhof for lodging and parking. Attendees of the Snowcat Jamoboree stayed there and we were happy with how it worked out. ( I think we had...
