We want to wish all of our Backtracks alums a very Happy New Year. Be safe and enjoy the holiday.

Please pass this message along to anyone you know planning on coming this year.

Since this is our 20th year of conducting Winter Count, we are offering a 20 year discount special to encourage everyone to sign-up early. Here's how it works:

We keep track of registrations as they come in. Every 20th registration (that's number 20, 40, 60, etc.) gets a $50 tuition discount. Every 100th one gets a $150 discount. What odds - the lottery is one in 200 million, here it's only 1 in 200. We need you to commit early to help us plan. I know it's easy to procrastinate, but we need you to sign up now. Go to backtracks.net and register on-line. Early registration is open, and this offer is only available until January 20th, so sign-up NOW!
