I didn't save the address of the person inquiring about Wolf Creek,
and I figured there may be a few other people interested.

There are motels east of WC in South Fork.  The closest you can get
is a lodge-type place just east of the gates which are used to close
the pass, just west of that enormous RV place Fun Valley.  (Actually
west of South Fork.) This is about 10 miles from the ski area.

There are motels west of WC in Pagosa Springs.  The closest you
can get is a nice-looking lodge and cabins place right near the
"Discount Tire Chains!" place, a few miles before Treasure Falls.
(Quite a distance east of Pagosa Springs.) Again, about 10 miles from
the ski area (maybe more).

We drove through on Monday and it was massively dumping, with 2 feet
expected.  Don't expect to be able to drive to Wolf Creek unless you
have good snow tires or chains.  WC is a small area with slow lifts,
long lines, not much terrain, and fabulous snow.  If you're looking
for a good week-long ski vacation, probably the best thing to do is
to fly to Durango, ski Purgatory most of the time, and then rent a
car and go to Wolf Creek for 1 or 2 days.
