When to do Spring Mountain?
I'm considering about signing up for the 3 day class they have, but they only one they have is in late June. I'm wondering what you guys think about when to do it considering the heat. If I do it, should I wait until the fall or so?
I've heard the 3rd day is well worth it, so I want to go that route.

June & July are brutal - 100+ every day.
If I had my choice it would be from March 1 to Memorial Day or from Labor Day to Thanksgiving.
There is no 3-day class as part of the GM program anymore.

I also did my class at the end of August, last year, and while it was hot, it certainly was very easy for tolerate, even for an old guy. AC is always on, plenty of drinks, and the clasrooms are air conditioned. My wife and I were at Badwater in Death Valley just before; now that's hot!

If you're sensitive to heat, don't go. I, personally, would go. No big deal.
I've found that some people are happy no matter the weather, some are unhappy no matter the weather, and there are only a few whose happiness actually depends on the weather.
The desert is beautiful, btw. Sunsets and evenings are special.
