House Costs

Over the years, I have had several requests for full and partial shares options. With the proposed house being nicer and cost being higher, two levels of shares have been created. Full Shares and Partial Shares. Note that all share costs include additional budgeted expenses such as heat, plowing, wood, etc. (as long as we do not go over budget)

Guest Notes
A guest here and there is fine but there really isn't enough room to acomodate frequent guests. Please consider this before bringing your friends up.

$1450 Full Share - Full Access, Anytime (27 Total Weekends)
Highlights
* Full access to the ski house during the 6 month season. Can come up anytime week or weekends.

$995 Partial Share - Alternating Weekends (16 Total Weekends)
Highlights
* Full access to the ski house every other weekend for the 6 ski season (No weekend swapping)
* Come up anytime during the midweek (Sun - Thurs) all season.
* 5 bonus weekends at the end of the season

Notes
* Unlike Full Shares, guests must pay fees at all times
* Full and Partial Shares have equal rights to beds.

Important Note: No Weekend Swapping
Weekend swapping is not allowed. With a Partial share, you can come up as much as you like during your designated weekends but you can not swap weekends. You can NOT be at the house when it is not your weekend. Why? Having this the trading option makes this alternative too much like a Full Share as well as.......

House Too Crowded
In reality, people just don't come up every weekend, which is factored into the house capacity equation. 

With 14 people coming up an estimated 60-70% of the time, that brings us to the max of 8-10 people. If Partial Share start swapping weekends, this figure is thrown off and the house becomes too crowded.

Fairness to Full Shares 
Options cost more. The Partial Share option gives you the luxury to come as much as you want during your designated time. It does not give you the option to come up other times. If you want that option, get a Full Share, which is all about having the luxury to come up anytime all season. Most full shares only come up 70% of the time so if a full share misses a weekend, the weekend is lost. The same should hold true for a Partial Share.

Too Much Management
It's hard enough to organize buying toilet paper. Trying to manage and enforce weekend swapping is just too much work.

Why is the Partial Share more than half the cost of a Full Share?
1) Life is about options. Getting the option of coming up less for less money. At DeAnglos, you don't pay 1/2 the price for a small sub even though its half the size of a large. 
2) More value....You get the option of coming up any weekday nite during the season as well as designated late weekends
3) Partial shares are more likely to come up more often during the nature of the option making the house more crowded. For instance, a partial share is more likely to come up 3 straight alternative weekends than a full share is to come up 3 consecutive weekends.
