>        So far we have a few downpayments but will need at least five more
>to extend the rock bottom price of $490 per person for the week. I've been
>quoted airfares to Boise for as little as $300 recently. For a $100 per
>day we have the opportunity for the backcountry trip of a lifetime.
>Granted this is a lot of money for students but remains a great value...
>       So here's the deal: we encourage you to start spreading the word to
>friends and folks in your hall or make announcements to students in your
>classes! Our goal is to go with a full group of eight to keep the price
>minimal. If we can get our group gathered in the fall, we'll have plenty
