Traveling to Aspen:
Arrival at the Meadows:
If you arrive by air, you may call the Aspen Meadows from the airport
at 970-925-4240 for complimentary shuttle service. If you arrive by
ground transportation, their address is 845 Meadows Road. If you
arrive by car, drive north on either 7th or 8th Street, and you will
be directed to the hotel. Cars are not needed in Aspen, but if you

Breakfast is included in your reservation and served at The Meadows.
The meetings are held at the Aspen Center for Physics, located a short
walk from The Meadows.
Registration:
Please see the
housing page for instructions on paying for registration
and the banquet.
A registration reception will be held at the Aspen Center for Physics from 18:30 - 20:30 on Sunday evening. The Meadows shuttle can bring you, or it is a 5 minute walk. If you want to explore the local restaurants after check-in, there are free local shuttle buses to take you to town from the Physics Center. And the hotel has a restaurant and a bar menu if you prefer to eat there. If you arrive after 20:30 on Sunday, you may register the following morning at the Aspen Center for Physics, where your meetings will take place.
Funding:
Students will receive $500 towards expenses. In addition, each
participant attending the banquet will receive around $40 towards
expenses, effectively making the banquet almost free for
participants. Spouses and guests will have to pay the full $55
price.
Computer Facilities:
The Aspen Center for Physics has wireless and ethernet internet
access, a printer and a scanner available for your use. There is no
access to the ACP network from off-campus. If you are coming from a
foreign country you may need to bring an adaptor for the electrical
connection.
Recreation:
The elevation of the town is nearly 8,000 feet, so consider the
effects of the altitude during your first few days, drink lots of
water and don't overdo the exercise. Aspen offers a wide variety of
winter sports, including downhill and cross-country skiing,
ice-skating, and walking. Equipment can be rented for all activities,
and instruction is also available. We have obtained ski lift tickets
at a rate of $63 for a full day's ticket. This is cheaper than the
half-day rate or multi-day rate. You may purchase them at the Center
during your stay. IF YOU NEED TICKETS BEFORE SUNDAY EVENING, PLEASE
LET US KNOW BY THE THURSDAY BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL, AND WE WILL ARRANGE
TO HAVE THEM FOR YOU AT THE MEADOWS UPON CHECK-IN. Also, if you plan
to rent skis, we will direct you to the shops that will give you a
discount.
Exit Report:
We would appreciate hearing your views on the workshop: the format,
productivity, conference and lodging facilities, etc.
