That's like saying that FTers will only stay there when they have Free Weekend Night awards! Oh, I forgot....
The SPG ski award options in CO are getting kind of slim right now:
- Westin Riverfront Villas aren't showing availability even for cash past Jan 31 right now. Only a few days in Jan now offer awards. I question whether their rates are being managed correctly.
- Westin Riverfront Resort has scattered availability, but the only full weekends left are two in Jan. Awards are 12K Starpoints per night -- which isn't all that much cheaper than a Cat6 C&P, IMO, though it has the advantage of being eligible for Fifth Night Free. Upgraded awards might be available.
- Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas have good standard award availability.
- Steamboat Springs Resort shows decent award availability and weekday C&P availability.
iahphx, I think that you and I have a lot of award options on hand that many other FTers do not. For those who want to stay in Aspen, I think this is a good deal.
