During peak season, why would the room go unsold?
I just had a ski-area hotel in Austria agree to cancel and refund money for a non-refundable booking during its peak ski season week. Before an hour had passed after the cancellation, the hotel had sold the room for a higher price.
Flying in (or driving in) to go skiing at Park City need not be something planned long in advance in every regard.

Glad to hear your child will make a full recovery and that the hotel did the hospitable thing for the circumstances.
I have found that some foreign home insurance coverage can be rather more generous than what I would get from the insurance policies sold to me in the US. And if the award stay were to be spoiled due to covered circumstances and had resulted in a charge that was say dollar-denominated, then there may be hope for not being out all the points and more. And I know Hyatt has charged dollar-denominated amounts for no-show reservations that were supposedly "free nights".
