    Please note, only the U-MOST administrative team will see the information you provide.

    SECTION 3: WHAT’S NEXT

    We’ll be in touch once we have reviewed your application. After confirming your participation, here’s what you can expect.

    1. We’ll send you a hotel code so that you can take advantage of a reduced-price room at Limelight Snowmass. You are responsible for paying this hotel stay. If you prefer, please book another hotel or accommodations in or near Aspen, CO or Snowmass Village, CO. There are many public buses in the area.
    2. Please book your travel to arrive in the Aspen, Colorado area before 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the first date of your U-MOST retreat (for example on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025) so that you can join us for the opening dinner and get a chance to meet the team and other participants. Aspen (ASE) is the closest airport, however flying to Eagle (EGE) or Grand Junction (GJT) are sometimes better options as they are less affected by weather.
    3. Plan your departure for the day after the retreat ends, for example on Monday, Jan. 13, as the closing dinner takes place on Sunday night.
