I’m pleased to announce SnowCon 2012 — a long weekend of snow sports, informal lectures, and discussion in the snowy Colorado Rockies! SnowCon will be held from Thursday, March 15th to Sunday, March 18th entirely in Frisco, Colorado. It’s sponsored by Front Range Objectivism, and it costs only $25.

During the day, we’ll be skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, hot tubbing, chatting, and relaxing. In the evenings, we’ll have short lectures and discussions after dinner at a condo I’ve rented in Frisco. The topics and speakers will be announced in late February.

To attend SnowCon, you must register by Sunday, March 11th using this form.

You can pay the $25 for SnowCon instantly via PayPal to [email protected]. If you would prefer to send a check or money order, please make it out to “Diana Hsieh” and write “SnowCon” in the memo field. Then mail it to “Diana Hsieh; P.O. Box 851; Sedalia, CO 80135.” (SnowCon attendees are responsible for all of their arrangements and expenses, including as lodging, transportation, meals, and equipment rentals.)

Would you like to give a short lecture or lead a discussion at SnowCon? If so, submit a proposal by February 15th!

SnowCon 2012 will be very informal, with people participating as much or as little as they like. Skiers and snowboarders will meet up on the slopes of Breckenridge and/or Keystone around 9:00 am on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Paul Hsieh will be snowshoeing during the day, and attendees are welcome to join him. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, the lectures and discussions will likely be held from 7 to 9 pm.
