So was she hauling a bunch of display panels?
Courtesy of Google Maps (I guess I could just fly up there and expense it to the town), we now know that Ms. Forgery doesn't like walking. I could see wanting to be close to the Convention Hall in Montreal in January, but July seems like an idyllic time to stroll through a lovely European-flavored city for, oh, I don't know, more than 3 MINUTES.
So while Estes Park is admittedly not Vail or Aspen, some of our leaders aspire so much to be like them, they apparently spend money as if they were them. Remember those two equivalent 4-star hotels I mentioned earlier, $100 U.S. or more cheaper per night? They are, respectively, a 9-minute walk from the southwest or a 9-minute walk from the east to the convention center. While Montreal is admittedly hilly, the elevation (less than 1000 ft. above sea level, compared to more than 7500 ft. at base camp) would certainly not have put someone as seemingly healthy as Ms. Forgery at a marked SOBOE disadvantage among her colleagues, even adding the few extra hundred steps. But maybe the closeness made for quicker liaisons.
