Just returned from a horse expo in Eagle, Colorado and DH and I decided to swing by Keystone on the way back to Denver as we thought we might like to sample the Concierge collection booking there early next year for a ski trip. What a gorgeous place! DH and I both felt like if Wilderness Lodge was a ski resort, this is what it would look like! We liked the River Run area and would probably book accomodations there. We spoke to the condo registration fellow, who was very helpful. He implied that there was a pretty wide variety of rooms you could get for a range of point values...it sounded so confusing in regards to what, besides "studio" or One-bedroom" could be expected in regards to what building you'd be in. I guess there were so many possibilities they just couldn't categorize and describe them all separately.
We definitely want to book a ski trip there in early 2009, but were wondering if anyone else other than us did a points versus cash price calculation-and if so, what did you determine? (Assuming weekday/weeknight/non-holiday peak time pricing fluctuations already taken into consideration, along with the booking fee.) Keystone's reservation website can be a bit vague about which accommodation/specific area you are actually booking. In fact, the registration person told us we'd be better off just calling on the phone to book. Hmm. We brought a resort map home from Keystone, so will be able to use that as a booking guide when we pick our travel dates. We were just wondering if any fellow DVC'ers had done a points vs cash comparison, and, if you did book accommodations, were they what you expected when you got there?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom!
