RE: info on hotel for world shoot
Hood,
do a search for snowshoe mountain. They do have a website, but I don' t know its address off hand. I have a phone number that may help: 877-441-4FUN.
They have several hotel/condo type places. Unfortunately, there is nothing else and they fill fast for this event.
Last year I reserved late and was only able to get a room at the hotel at the bottom of the mountain. It worked out fine - only about a six mile ride to the main resort.
good luck
