Just thought I'd pm you in case you didn't see my post on the thread question on the Franklin.
"Highflyer - I'd have to agree w/Packerlandrider on The Franklin on his info(and I'm even a Bear fan, lol). Stayed there last Feb in modest/marginal snow conditions. Nav from main trail not too bad, nice place, plenty of close restaurants, hot tub if needed, min night-time sled noise, and great view at night from hotel bar or in AM for breakfast(would definitely recommend this).
Hope this helps ,,,,, have fun."
